On Tuesday next.
When will the Bill be circulated?
Either tomorrow or Friday.
Definitely?
Yes.
The Second Reading will be on Tuesday?
That is what I am asking for.
I do not know what changes the Minister has in the Bill but is it much more than implementing the proposals of the Budget?
Yes; there are a number of other things, including the raising of the income level for compulsory insurability of non-manual employees and the amendments to the Unemployment Assistance Acts in respect of smallholders.
The Minister cannot tell us too much about it now. He said something about raising the limit.
Raising the limit for compulsory insurability of non-manual employees.
If the Bill is ordered for Tuesday, it does not necessarily mean that the Minister will take it on Tuesday?
No.
It can be tentatively ordered for Tuesday.
Tentatively ordered for Tuesday. That is all.
