¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the annexures are lengthy and time is short; hence they were tabled. On remittances, there are several strands. We acknowledge past irregularities surrounding remittance channels and insurance. To address welfare, we have constituted a committee comprising the Ministry’s foreign employment division and the SLBFE. Issues like insurance terms and interest rate benefits are being reviewed there for appropriate decisions.
