The government hour of Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov in the State Duma was held in an updated format. For the first time, deputies of legislative assemblies joined the meeting. Out of 89 regions, the deputies of 29 regions took advantage of the opportunity to listen to the government hour. Vedomosti's interlocutor in the Duma says that 34 regional deputies were planned to participate the day before.

In total, eight deputies of legislative assemblies participated in the meeting in person, and 18 regional deputies were by videoconference. The first deputy chairman of the Duma of the Stavropol Territory Dmitry Sudavtsov and his colleague in the Tambov Regional Duma Alexander Kupriyanov, the vice-speakers of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region Arkady Chernetsky, the Jewish Autonomous Region - Anton Akimov, the chairmen of the committees of the Duma of the Astrakhan Region Lyubov Plushenko, the Kaluga Region - Irina Yashanina, Moscow region - Igor Kokhany, Tula region - Galina Aleshina. Deputies from Adygea, Bashkortostan, Buryatia, Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria, Khakassia, Bryansk, Voronezh, Murmansk regions and other regions were present at the VKS.

Volodin, before Shulginov's speech, said that now the heads of relevant committees of regional parliaments will be invited to the State Duma to hear ministers and vice-premiers during the government hour. “If the agenda is interesting for deputies of regional legislative assemblies, they want not only to be embedded, but also to participate in the agenda that the State Duma discusses during government hours, we now provide such an opportunity, and they can participate in this conversation with us,” he noted. True, the regional deputies never asked the minister a single question.

For the first time, Oleg Morozov, Chairman of the Duma Control Committee, spoke about the participation in government hours of deputies from the regions on March 1. “Among the innovations: for the first time, the report of the minister, in this case the Minister of Energy Nikolai Shulginov, will be attended by representatives of the legislative assemblies of the constituent entities of the Federation. The regions are already forming questions and topics that concern them, and transmit them, including to our committee,” he said.

The government hour with Shulginov in the State Duma passed on the eve of the report of the Accounts Chamber in the State Duma, which will be held on March 16. The report will be presented by Galina Izotova, Acting Chairman of the Accounts Chamber. And next week, on March 22 or 23, the government's report will be held in the State Duma. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin will report on the work of the Cabinet.
