Something like this to link bills to relevant debates would be cool:

There's already some code done in fill-debate-bill-ids, but it's not very well optimised and wasn't ready for v1.

Additional relevant suggestions: https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/s/OE9E9XwAgK

Your suggestion might work! A summary of the second reading (like in the Debates page) would also be lovely.

Alternatively, you could include it in the Debates page since the second readings are technically debates. If the latter, perhaps a special highlight stating that this was a Second Reading of xx Bill.

A big problem with the Hansard now is that there's just so much content during each Parliamentary sitting to sift through and its often hard to locate the second readings (which are the most legally significant) _and then_ having to read them.

Both suggestions above would solve that accessibility issue imo and whichever one you adopt will depend on how you want the UX to look like.
