ABSTRACT
Rules and Regulations for Parliament and for the Electoral Laws are to be drawn up by the Department for Drawing up Regulations for Constitutional Government and will be promulgated in 1912.
The establishment of a Parliament was foreshadowed by the Emperor's approval of a general outline of the principles of constitutional government, together with laws concerning parliament and the election of its members, (see Edict dated 27th August, 1908, in reply to a report from the Bureau for the In.estigation of the Principles of Constitutional Government, with two enclosures).
