Shafaq News/ Iraq's legislative body will kick off a 30-day recess the next weekend, a member of the legal committee said on Wednesday, but the budget bill referral might postpone it.

Committee Member Raed al-Maliki told Shafaq News Agency that the current parliament's first legislative year ends next week.

"The lawmakers will go on a 30-day recess," al-Maliki said, "however, it might be postponed again if the government submits the 2023 budget bill."

On November 8, the parliament presidium issued a decree that postponed the legislative recess for 30 days.
