The Pheu Thai Party and opposition leader Cholnan Srikaew said on Thursday a censure debate would take place before Aug 23 -- the date critics believe Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's eight-year term limit should technically end.
Dr Cholnan said the opposition plans to lodge a no-confidence motion against Gen Prayut as soon as possible, but the debate could wait for the House to deliberate key legislative drafts, such as the budget bill.
The debate should not delay or hinder the scrutinising of crucial laws, he said.
