Speakers
Summary
This motion concerns the Second Supplementary Estimates of Expenditure for the financial year ending 31 March 2022, as detailed in Paper Cmd 13 of 2022. The Committee of Supply reviewed various Heads of Expenditure en bloc for both the Main and Development Estimates because no amendments were raised for consideration. Parliament approved the allocation of $2,703,060,500 for the Supplementary Main Estimates and $233,868,400 for the Supplementary Development Estimates to fund essential public services. Minister Lawrence Wong reported the committee's resolutions to the house and moved for Parliament to formally agree with the decisions regarding these additional government expenditures. The resolutions were put to a question and agreed to, concluding the legislative process for the second supplementary estimates for that financial year.
