Prajadhipok R
His Majesty King Maha Prajadhipok Phra Pokklao Chaoyuhua bestows upon all heads a Great Royal Command that it be announced for general information as follows:
Whereas the House of Representatives has presented Him with the following advice: After the Council of Ministers which had Second-Class High Courtier Phraya Manopakonnitithada as Premier advised Him to announce, and countersigned, the royal decree dated 1 April 2476 Buddhist Era for prorogation of the House of Representatives and suspension of the application of certain sections of the Constitution without relying upon any constitutional power, thereby deteriorating the sanctity of the Constitution, Colonel Phraya Phahonphonphayuhasena, new Prime Minister, together with a party of army officers, naval officers, and civilians, had to arrange for the former Council of Ministers to resign so as to pave the way for His Majesty to grant the opening of the House of Representatives, following which First-Class High Courtier Chaophraya Phichaiyat, President of the House of Representatives, successfully managed to open the House in accordance with the requests from Colonel Phraya Phahonphonphayuhasena and Members thereof who sought the opening of the House of Representatives pursuant to section 32 of the Constitution.
Now that the opening of an extraordinary session of the House of Representatives has been granted and effected in accordance with the Constitution completely, it is appropriate to repeal the royal decree dated 1 April 2476 Buddhist Era by which the House of Representatives was prorogued.
Therefore, by and with the advice and consent of the House of Representatives, He is graciously pleased to enact the following Act:
Section1.This Act shall be called the Act for Repeal of the House of Representatives Prorogation Royal Decree Dated 1 April 2476 Buddhist Era.
