Debated in Parliament on 19 Mar 2018.
Order for Second Reading read.
Mr Speaker, I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."
Sir, as this Bill is closely related to the previous Bill on the Order Paper, the Criminal Justice Reform Bill, and all the matters that were canvassed in the earlier debate relate to this Bill as well, I believe it may not be necessary for any substantive matters to be addressed here, unless Members also have additional questions or queries. And, if not, I would beg to move.
As the debate on this Bill has already been undertaken during the Criminal Justice Reform Bill, are there any further clarifications that Members require? There is none.
Question put, and agreed to.
Bill accordingly read a Second time and committed to a Committee of the whole House.
The House immediately resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. – [Ms Indranee Rajah].
*Bill considered in Committee; reported without amendment; read a Third time and passed. (proc text)]
Order. I propose to take a break now. I suspend the Sitting and will take the Chair at 3.45 pm.
Sitting accordingly suspended
at 3.26 pm until 3.45 pm.
Sitting resumed at 3.45 pm
[Deputy Speaker (Mr Lim Biow Chuan) in the Chair]
