     AI summary The Speaker announced that, after reviewing a privilege request from Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna concerning an incident during the Adjournment Debate on 08.11.2025, he had directed the Secretary-General to expunge unparliamentary words from Hansard and the audio-video record, so no further privilege matter would be raised. He laid specified parts of the Auditor-General’s Reports for financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024 before Parliament under Article 154(6) of the Constitution. He also accepted two petitions, which were ordered to be referred to the Committee on Public Petitions, and the House agreed that the Auditor-General’s Reports be printed.
