The office of the group handling proposals from deputies for Saturday's NPC Session has announced the progress made in processing proposals from last year's NPC session.
Seven special NPC committees have completed reviewing over 640 proposals adopted by the presidium of the previous NPC session. And 75 percent of the more than 6,000 proposals from the NPC deputies involving criticism and suggestions have been or are being processed by relevant government organs.
Li Bojun, deputy Head of Office of Group Handling Proposals from Third Session of 10th NPC said: "There are several highlights for first time, the NPC Standing Committee has made improving the work of processing deputies' proposals its focus. And for the first time, relevant departments under the NPC Standing Committee and the State Council have focused their selection of NPC proposals in eight fields, which all reflect the concerns of the ordinary people and have a significant bearing on reform, development and social stability. They include protecting the rights and interests of farmers who have lost their land to real estate development, as well as the issue of food safety."
