Opposition seeks energy crisis debateOpposition parties agreed at their first informal whips' meeting on Tuesday to seek an urgent House debate on the country's energy crisis, with the People's Party (PP) warning it would expose alleged fuel hoarding during today's parliamentary session. The informal meeting of the opposition coordination committee brought together representatives from five parties: the PP, Democrat Party, Klatham Party, Thai Pakdee Party and Seri Ruam Thai Party. After the meeting, Mr Parit said the five opposition parties had agreed to submit an urgent oral motion on Wednesday to allow MPs to present recommendations to the government on the energy crisis. He said the party had received reports from multiple locations and would disclose the information during the debate. Meanwhile, Nan Boonthida Somchai, a BJT MP for Ubon Ratchathani and the party's spokeswoman, said after a party meeting that BJT would also submit an urgent motion on the oil crisis.
