DPJ steamrolls bill on easing repayment terms for firms

TOKYO, Japan - Members of the House of Representatives Financial Affairs Committee hold a meeting while the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party and a smaller opposition, the New Komeito party, boycotted the vote as well as the panel's hearing on Nov. 19, 2009. The committee passed a bill to encourage lenders to freeze debt repayments for small and midsize companies, making it the first piece of legislation to be steamrolled through the DPJ-controlled chamber.
