Today's session began with Speaker Stanisław Małachowski discussing the state of the treasury, emphasizing the importance of legislative oversight over budgetary matters. Given the week's focus on fiscal issues, Speaker Małachowski raised a proposal concerning tax alleviation for a territory affected by river floods. Following the unanimous approval of this proposal, Under Secretary of Treasury for Poland-Ukraine Roch Kossowski expressed his gratitude for being retained in his position and affirmed his commitment to serving the nation with integrity.

The representatives then deliberated the necessity of appointing two Under Secretaries of Treasury to ensure vigilance and mutual assistance within the finance department of The Union. Representative Józef Mikorski was highly praised for his diligent work on the finance committee, reflecting the House's dedication to prudence in fiscal management. Nonetheless, the multitude of pressing fiscal matters, including the need for more Under Secretaries of Treasury, has caused some tension in the session.

Polish-Ukrainian Representative Michał Bernowicz urged for equal representation in high-ranking posts for the states within The Union, highlighting the need for trustworthy ministers in all regions, especially as the Union contemplates governance reforms.

Debate ensued regarding various vacancies in the finance departments across The Union. Lawmakers were at odds over the appointment of Under Secretaries and whether selecting nominees at this juncture was appropriate or in line with the law.

The urgency of addressing The Union's financial challenges and reforms came to the forefront. Representative Jan Jordan reported hurdles faced by a committee responsible for drafting a project to enhance revenue, hindered by the lack of necessary data from all states.

Representative Tadeusz Korsak insisted upon revisiting a law that would reduce ministerial salaries and postpone creating new Under Secretary roles until the treasury was adequately provisioned, highlighting a strong emphasis on cost-saving measures.

Confronted with a time constraint, the session, filled with discussions on fiscal prudence, the role of government in economic oversight, and the necessity for competent officeholders within the treasury, ended without a consensus on the topic of appointing new Under Secretaries of Treasury. Speaker Małachowski adjourned the meeting until Monday, leaving unresolved the conundrum of balancing governance efficiency against the mandate to curb government expenditure.
