- The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake JJB
AI summary Bimal Rathnayake raised a procedural concern that, contrary to an agreement at the Parliamentary Business Committee, the Government had not been informed the previous day that the Opposition would request a vote. He said this prevented all 58 Government Members from being present and asked the Speaker to safeguard the Government’s right to prior notice in such instances.
