PROCEEDINGS TO BE BROUGHT TO CONCLUSION ON 13TH JULY

2.34 p.m.

The Deputy Prime Minister (Dr Toh Chin Chye): Mr Speaker, I beg to move,

That the proceedings on the items of business set down on the Order Paper for this day and on the motion of no confidence in the Government in the names of the Members for Queenstown and Anson shall be brought to a conclusion at 12 midnight on Friday, 13th July.

Mr Speaker, the main interest in this sitting of the Assembly has been on the passage of the National Referendum Bill and the questions which are to be posed at the referendum itself. Both these items have been disposed of. They have taken the greater part of two weeks' debate and the remaining items on the Order Paper are of little significance. So I would suggest, Mr Speaker, that since I have given notice that the Government intends to adjourn this Assembly sine die tomorrow night, it is fitting that I should here move this motion that the proceedings on all items should come to a conclusion at 12 o'clock midnight tomorrow.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That the proceedings on the items of business set down on the Order Paper for this day and on the motion of no confidence in the Government in the names of the Members for Queenstown and Anson shall be brought to a conclusion at 12 midnight on Friday, 13th July.
