Chandigarh, Sep 21 (UNI) Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee today said the enquiry committee, looking into the 'cash for vote' allegations during the July 22 Trust Vote, was likely to submit its report shortly and appropriate action would be taken on the basis of its findings.

This was stated by Mr Chatterjee said in his inaugural address at the 73rd Conference of Presiding officers of Legislative Bodies in India here.
