REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE PUBLIC UTILITIES, LOCAL GOVERNMENT INTEGRATION, PLANNING (AMENDMENT), PENSIONS (AMENDMENT), AND HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT (AMENDMENT) BILLS (Motion)

Mr Speaker: There is one point that arises out of that resolution; The Report of the previous Select Committee on the Local Government Integration Bill and four other Bills may come in useful for the incoming Select Committee. If the Minister thinks that that is so, then it is necessary for him to move a motion to refer this Report to the new Select Committee. The motion can be moved now without notice. The motion would be,

That the Report of the Select Committee on the Public Utilities, Local Government Integration, Planning (Amendment), Pensions (Amendment), and Housing and Development (Amendment) Bills presented to the Assembly in the previous Session and contained in Paper L.A. 20 of 1962 be referred to the Select Committee on the Local Government Integration Bill.

If that is so, then perhaps the Minister can just move simpliciter.

Dr Goh Keng Swee: Sir, I so move simpliciter.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That the Report of the Select Committee on the Public Utilities, Local Government Integration, Planning (Amendment), Pensions (Amendment), and Housing and Development (Amendment) Bills presented to the Assembly in the previous Session and contained in Paper L.A. 20 of 1962 be referred to the Select Committee on the Local Government Integration Bill.
