ROME (Reuters) - Italy's justice minister survived a no-confidence vote in the lower house of parliament on Wednesday, shoring up the fragile coalition government ahead of looming votes on next year's budget and to strip Silvio Berlusconi of his Senate seat.

Prime Minister Enrico Letta's Democratic Party (PD) and the other groups supporting the government rejected a no-confidence motion by the opposition 5-Star Movement against Justice Minister Anna Maria Cancellieri by 405 to 154.
