The House of Representatives is scheduled to hold on Sunday the final vote on the 10% social welfare raise for bureaucrats not covered by the Civil Service Act, Al Ahram reports.

The House Budget Committee is expected to begin discussing the FY2017-18 budget on Monday, 8 May, once the finance and planning ministers are free to attend the sessions, as both are tied up with a visiting IMF delegation and the marathon proceedings attendant to the draft Investment Act.
