Mdm Speaker: Order. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of Standing Order 92, I have fixed the times for the conclusion of consideration of the heads of expenditure in the Estimates of Expenditure for FY 2014/2015 in the Committee of Supply.

In fixing these times, I have taken into account the reduction of Question Time to 30 minutes on the days allotted for the COS debates, and that the sitting times of the Committee of Supply be extended for each of the allotted days which are subject to the approval of the House.

Additionally, I have notified Members that the sittings on the allotted days of 6 to 13 March will commence at 11.30 am.

The "guillotine" times I have fixed have been notified to hon Members and will appear in the Official Report [Please refer to Annex 1 on Pg xx]. Order. Questions for Oral Answer. Mr Yee Jenn Jong.
