Proceedings on Ministerial Statement

10.31 am

The Leader of the House (Ms Indranee Rajah): Mr Speaker, I move, "That, notwithstanding Standing Order 91(2), the Ministerial Statement on Review into the Public Disclosure of Full NRIC Numbers on Bizfile People Search be taken before the resumption of proceedings on the Estimates of Expenditure for FY2025/2026 at this day's Sitting".

Supply business ordinarily takes precedence over Ministerial Statements. However, the Ministerial Statement is on a matter of some importance and it would be more efficient for the disposal of Parliamentary Business for the Ministerial Statement to be taken before the resumption of the debate on the Committee of Supply. Members will have sufficient time to seek clarifications from Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, who will deliver the Ministerial Statement.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That, notwithstanding Standing Order 91(2), the Ministerial Statement on "Review into the Public Disclosure of Full NRIC Numbers on Bizfile People Search" be taken before the resumption of proceedings on the Estimates of Expenditure for FY2025/2026 at this day's Sitting. – [Ms Indranee Rajah]
