Debated in Parliament on 7 Nov 2016.
Mdm Speaker, I understand that a Message from the President addressed to Parliament is to be read to the House. As the Message is on a matter which the House will be considering at the Second Reading of the Constitution (Amendment) Bill, I seek the House's agreement for the Message to be read at the time when the Constitution (Amendment) Bill is to be taken.
Mdm Speaker, I beg to move, "That, under Standing Order 10(2), the Message from the President conveying his views on the Constitutional Amendments be taken at the commencement of the Second Reading of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (Amendment) Bill."
Question put, and agreed to.
*Resolved, "That, under Standing Order 10(2), the Message from the President conveying his views on the Constitutional Amendments be taken at the commencement of the Second Reading of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (Amendment) Bill." – [Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien] *
