The Solomon Islands Speaker of Parliament says no date has yet been set for the budget sitting of Parliament to end the year.

Sir Peter Kenilorea says the Prime Minister is required to call a sitting of parliament soon to deal with the budget.

"As far as we are concerned we do not have any date set for the budget session as yet, all I knew was that we were advised that the Parliament would sit on the 15th of this month, but that particular date, as you might be aware has already been postponed, or some later date which has yet to be annouced."
