CIVIL LIST:

(Motion) The Second Minister for Finance (Mr Raymond Lim Siang Keat): Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move,

That this Parliament, pursuant to section 7 of the Civil List and Pension Act (Chapter 44) resolves that the Schedule to that Act be varied with effect from 1st April 2006 by deleting the figures $2,588,200", $1,055,800" and "$8,000" in the second column and substituting for them the figures "$2,733,200", "$1,108,500" and "$92,800" respectively.

I propose that a provision of $2,733,200 be supported for Class II expenditure. This is an increase of $145,000 over the FY05 Class II expenditure and reflects normal salary increments and other personnel-related expenses for staff in the President's Office.

For Class III expenditure, I propose a provision of $1,108,500. This is an increase of $52,700 over the FY05 Class III expenditure and is due to IT and security related initiatives.

For Class IV expenditure, I propose a provision of $92,800. This is an increase of $84,800 from the FY05 Class IV expenditure for FY06 and reflects an increase of expenses for the replacement of PCs, Notebooks and new IT development projects.

It is therefore necessary to vary the provisions in the Schedule to the Civil List and Pension Act (Chapter 44) with effect from 1st April 2006 to reflect the budgeted FY06 provisions, as indicated in the Motion before the House.

Sir, I beg to move.

Question put, and agreed to.
