“To exclude from the Commission Gorbunov G. A., Pankova N. In. and speaker AV”, — the document says.
Ulyukayev 15 November 2016 was dismissed from the post of Minister of economic development President Vladimir Putin in connection with the “loss of confidence”.

The court placed the speaker under house arrest till 15 Jan 2017.
