NPC to check on enforcement of antipollution laws it passes

The top legislature plans to conduct an inspection this year on how the new Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law is being implemented, in a move to tighten supervision over environmental protection.

"We'll also invite officials of environment-related authorities under the State Council to respond to concerns and questions from national legislators regarding the law," said Yuan Si, vice-chairman of the Environment Protection and Resources Conservation Committee of the 12th National People's Congress.

He spoke at a news conference on Monday on the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions.
