Members first voted on part one of the bill, covering state revenue and tax and customs measures, and then on part two, covering general budget expenditure, the budgets of autonomously managed state services and special Treasury accounts. Both votes produced the same result: 179 in favour and 126 against.
The vote on part two followed a plenary session devoted to the sectoral budgets, the reports of the standing committees and statements by the parliamentary groups, according to the same source.
The bill now goes to the House of Councillors, which will examine it and may amend it under the legislative procedure.
The finance bill was tabled in the House of Representatives on 20 October. It is the first finance bill presented by the new government led by Fatima Zahra El Mansouri, amid debate between the majority and the opposition over tax choices, the allocation of funds and public spending priorities.
