衆院政治改革委、月内に議論開始　与野党国対委員長が合意

　自民、立憲民主など与野党６党の国対委員長は２日、国会内で会談し、衆院に「政治改革特別委員会」（仮称）を近く設置し、月内に議論を始めることで合意した。自民党派閥の裏金事件を受けた政治資金規正法改正に向けて議論し、実効性のある政治改革の今国会中の実現を目指す。
　６党は岸田文雄首相が今月中旬に訪米から帰国した後、衆参両院本会議で報告を受けることでも一致。自民派閥の裏金事件の関係議員らへの処分を踏まえ、両院の予算委員会で集中審議を行うことも申し合わせた。（2024/04/02-12:24）

Japan's ruling and opposition parties agreed on Tuesday to set up a committee in the House of Representatives to discuss political reform starting this month.
   The committee is expected to discuss amending the political funds control law to prevent a repeat of a slush funds scandal involving the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
   The six parties aim to enact effective political reform measures before the current parliamentary session ends in June.
   Nobuhide Minorikawa, the LDP's acting parliamentary affairs chief, told reporters, "We want to create a system to prevent a recurrence of the scandal."
   The committee will discuss the scandal and the LDP's response to it, Jun Azumi, parliamentary affairs chief of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, told reporters. "In addition to the law revisions, the scandal itself needs to be discussed," he said.
