38% back parliament's proposal on imperial family: poll

A Jiji monthly opinion poll showed Thursday that 38.2% of respondents back parliament’s proposal for two measures to secure a sufficient number of imperial family members.The lower and upper chambers of parliament on June 10 adopted the proposal as a consensus of the legislative branch at a meeting of representatives of 13 parties and parliamentary groups.The consensus approves the measures of allowing female imperial family members to retain their status after marriage and allowing male-line descendants of former imperial family branches to be adopted into the family. The government will draft a bill to revise the Imperial House Law, based on the consensus.
