Emergency debate on French Budget
NZPA-Reuter Parisi France’s Parliament will! meet in special session today for emergency debate on the nation’s Budget, .declared illegal by the Con(stitutional Council because of a technical flaw in the initial vote. The council ruled on Christmas Eve that revenues] and expenditures should have been voted separately, and not as a single package". Despite continued bickering between Government factions over State
costs, it was widely ex-| pected that the Budget in its initial form would ultimately be adopted. The Communist Party has said it wanted the entire Budget re-discussed. but, failing the unlikely support of other parties, it is highly improbable that this will happen.
Since Parliament was in recess, President Valery Giscard d’Estaing was forced to sign a special decree yesterday in order to convene today’s session.
