Parliamentary Elections (Amendment) Bill

Minister Chan Chun Sing.

Mr Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Prime Minister, I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."

The Parliamentary Elections (Amendment) Bill is associated with the previous Bill on the Order Paper, the Presidential Elections (Amendment) Bill.

In the Second Reading speech for that Bill and the debate we just had, I have explained the main amendments proposed in both Bills. Although Members have already raised their questions and expressed their views on both Bills during the earlier debate, I welcome Members to raise any additional questions they may have on the Parliamentary Elections (Amendment) Bill. Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move.

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. – [Mr Chan Chun Sing].

Bill considered in Committee; reported without amendment; read a Third time and passed.
