Parliament session to open Nov. 28
AMMAN (J.T.) — A Royal Decree will be issued Nov. 28 summoning Parliament for an ordinary session on the same day, Information Minister Nasser Judeh said Saturday.
The Parliament session will be inaugurated by a Speech from the Throne by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hassan, the Regent, Judeh told reporters.
Prince Hassan will be presenting the Speech from the Throne for the first time due to His Majesty King Hussein's absence. The King is now receiving treatment at the Mayo Clinic in the U.S.
The Cabinet, holding a regular meeting yesterday under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Fayez Tarawneh, reviewed the draft speech. The speech will then be sent to Prince Hassan who will outline the government's policies and plans.
