Deputies to verify laws, regulations are proper

China's top legislature will push for constitutional compliance inspections and better ways of reviewing documents this year - administrative rules, judicial interpretations, local laws and regulations - to ensure that they are consistent with the Constitution and the law, according to a work report delivered on Sunday.

"In advancing law-based governance in all fields, we must give high priority to enforcing the Constitution," said Zhang Dejiang, chairman of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress. "And we need to make solid moves to ensure enforcement of and compliance with the Constitution."

He delivered the work report on behalf of the Standing Committee to about 3,000 deputies to the NPC, the top legislative body, on Sunday afternoon.
