Parliament has deferred its decision on the results of a study into the three minutes of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission due to the lack of a quorum.

The House will discuss the matter again next Tuesday, House Speaker Chai Chidchob said yesterday.

The study was conducted by a joint committee of MPs and senators, following fierce disagreements among MPs over the motion that parliament approve the three minutes.

However, a group of about 80 MPs led by Democrat MP for Songkhla Sirichoke Sopha previously petitioned the Constitution Court to rule on the exact status of the three documents.
