According to the NPC Rules of Procedure, the heads and deputy heads
of the various NPC delegations are elected at the plenary sessions
of their delegations. To be eligible for election they must be
deputies to the National People's Congress.
The head of a delegation is responsible for convening and chairing
plenary sessions of the delegation assisted by the deputy head. The
head would also usually be a member of the Presidium and report
back to the delegation on the work of the Presidium. He will also
represent the views of his own delegation both at meetings of the
Presidium and at plenary sessions of the NPC.
NPC Rules of Procedure provide for delegations to be sub-divided
into groups, with each electing its own convenor. This is to help
give the deputies every opportunity to air their views. A typical
group might be composed of say 10 to 30 deputies and correspond
with a prefecture within a province. Chaired by its convenor, the
forum of the group meeting facilitates discussion by members of the
delegation on the various bills and proposals. However a delegation
with only a small number of deputies would not be sub-divided in
this way.
