The Second Minister for Home Affairs (Mrs Josephine Teo): Mdm Deputy Speaker, I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."

The Computer Misuse (Amendment) Bill is associated with the previous Bill on the Order Paper, the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) (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 Computer Misuse (Amendment) Bill. Mdm Deputy Speaker, I beg to move.

Mdm Deputy Speaker: Are there any other clarifications or questions? Alright.

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. – [Mrs Josephine Teo].

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