BEIRUT (Reuters) - A draft Lebanese capital control law will be discussed by parliamentary committees on Monday and put to a vote on Tuesday if the text is agreed, two lawmakers said, a new bid to pass the long-delayed law amid a standoff between banks and some judges.

A statement on Saturday from Deputy Prime Minister Saade Chami's office said meetings this week with the IMF had mostly focused on getting the Fund's opinion and comments on the draft capital control law.
