Sewerage and Drainage (Amendment) Bill

3.31 pm

Order for Second Reading read.

Dr Vivian Balakrishnan: Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time." This Bill is closely related to the previous Bill on our Order Paper, the Public Utilities (Amendment) Bill. In the debate we have just had on the Public Utilities (Amendment) Bill, I have already explained the amendments proposed in both Bills. Members have already raised their questions and expressed their views on both Bills during the earlier debate, although they are still welcome to do so now if there are any. Therefore, Sir, I beg to move.
