The other places are the NTUC Centre, the Treasury and the Civil Service College. All four places may be used for the first session of the 14th Parliament, which may be held from Aug 24 to Nov 20 inclusive. The Arts House was chosen for the opening of Parliament due to factors including its proximity to Parliament House and sufficient seating capacity for proceedings with safe distancing measures, said the office.
