Parliament session scheduled for next week has been deferred until further notice.

The Business Committee met yesterday afternoon and has unanimously approved the deferment.

The government says this deferment is to allow the coalition government to ensure the efficient and effective preparation of the 2023-2024 National Budget, before it is tabled in parliament.

The National Budget will be delivered on the 30th of this month.
