SHOP ASSISTANTS EMPLOYMENT BILL

11.37 a.m.

The Minister for Labour and Welfare (Mr Lim Yew Hock): Mr Speaker, Sir, in view of the debate on the previous motion, I think it will be advisable if we postpone the consideration of this motion after the earlier motion has been disposed of. This Bill, Sir, contains almost all the clauses which are in the Clerks Employment Bill.

Mr Speaker: Will the Minister then move, please?

Mr Lim Yew Hock: May I therefore move, Sir,

That consideration of item 3 be deferred until completion of consideration of item 2 on the Order Paper.

The Assistant Minister for Labour and Welfare (Mr Mak Pak Shee): Sir, I second it.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That consideration of item 3 be deferred until completion of consideration of item 2 on the Order Paper.
