Transcript

4.44 pm

The Leader of the House (Ms Indranee Rajah): Mr Speaker, I beg to move, that pursuant to Standing Order 10(2), the introduction of the Law Enforcement and Other Matters Bill be taken now.

As Mr Speaker and Members may be aware, an issue arose earlier when the Law Enforcement and Other Matters Bill was not laid on the table.

While I had earlier obtained Speaker's consent to dispense with the need to lay the Bill on the table at that time, I am moving this Motion now to allow the First Reading of the Bill to take place in accordance with the provisions of the Standing Orders, including the requirement for the Bill to be laid on the table.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That pursuant to Standing Order 10(2), the introduction of the Law Enforcement and Other Matters Bill be taken now.
