Ha Noi — Many National Assembly deputies argued yesterday that a draft amended Securities Law should lessen the State Securities Commission's affiliation with the Finance Ministry. The deputies, who met in groups to discuss the proposed changes to the more-than-three-year-old law, complained that the ministry clouded the commission's jurisdiction so that it could not quickly respond to changes in the market. Deputy Nguyen Minh Thuyet, northern Lang Son Province, said the SSC should become an autonomous agency that was independent of the ministry.
