Myanmar’s third parliamentary sessions of both Houses have adjourned in Nay Pyi Taw, parliament sources said Thursday. 
Speaker of the House of Representatives (Lower House) U Win Myint said at the end of the session Wednesday evening that during the session since November, a total of 10 motions including a special one were submitted to the parliament, of which 6 motions were put on record and 4 to be tabled at the next session. 
Of the 17 bills discussed, 7 were approved with 10 others remaining to be passed.
