    "content": "Indeed, Hon. Members, in the 12th Parliament, on 7th July 2021, when addressing the fate of individual Members’ Bills that were pending before various committees of the House, my immediate predecessor observed as follows— “…the importance of having Committee reports on Bills before commencement of Second Reading needs not be over-emphasised. For the information of Members, Committee reports on Bills not only inform and enrich debate on the Bill but also, most importantly, espouse the views and recommendations of the public, which legitimises the legislative process and cushions the House from judicial review for failing to comply with the provisions under Article 118 of the Constitution on Public Access and Participation.”"
