臨時国会召集、２８日軸　補正、規正法を審議―政府・与党

　政府・与党は、臨時国会の召集日について、２８日を軸に調整に入った。総合経済対策の裏付けとなる２０２４年度補正予算案や、自民党の派閥裏金事件を受けた政治資金規正法の再改正などを審議。石破茂首相の外国訪問の日程などを考慮して２９日とする案もある。複数の関係者が１４日、明らかにした。
　与野党９党１会派は同日、国会内で国対委員長会談を開催。野党側は臨時国会の早期召集を重ねて求めた。さらに、調査研究広報滞在費（旧文書通信交通滞在費）の使途公開基準を巡る議論を直ちに始めるよう主張。与党側は持ち帰った。
　立憲民主党の笠浩史国対委員長は会談後、記者団に「野党が多数を占める中、熟議を尽くして結論を得ていく。与野党で新しい国会の在り方を（国民に）見せていくための努力をしなければならない」と強調した。（2024/11/14-12:11）

The Japanese government and the ruling coalition led by the Liberal Democratic Party are discussing a plan to set the date for convening an extraordinary session of the Diet, the country's parliament, on Nov. 28, informed sources said Thursday.
   The session will be convened to discuss a fiscal 2024 supplementary budget that will finance a planned economic package and proposed revisions to the political funds control law in the wake of the LDP's slush funds scandal.
   There is also a proposal to set the date for convening the extraordinary session on Nov. 29 in consideration of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's overseas visit schedule.
   Diet affairs chiefs of nine ruling and opposition parties and one parliamentary group held a meeting in the Diet on Thursday. The opposition side reiterated their call for the early convening of the session. Also, they sought the immediate start of discussions on the criteria for disclosure of the use of research, public relations and accommodation allowances that the government pays lawmakers. The ruling side did not respond to the requests immediately.
   Hirofumi Ryu, Diet affairs chief of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, told reporters after the meeting, "With the opposition camp having a majority (in the House of Representatives, the lower Diet chamber), we will deliberate exhaustively before reaching conclusions."
