ENLISTMENT (AMENDMENT) BILL

Order for Second Reading read.

3.00 p.m.

The Minister of Defence (Dr Goh Keng Swee): Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."

The formal amendment to section 29 of the Enlistment Act is to rectify an omission. The amendment would facilitate proof of knowledge of registration, medical examination and enlistment notices on the part of persons to whom they apply.

Sir, I beg to move.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read a Second time and committed to a Committee of the whole House.

The House immediately resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. -[Dr Goh Keng Swee].

Bill considered in Committee; reported without amendment; read a Third time and passed.
