The Hon. (Dr.) Anil Jayantha
Hon. (Dr.) Anil Jayantha stated that the Government has no objection to tabling the official report, but said Parliament should not debate a version circulated on social media due to questions about authenticity. He noted that the report includes summaries and details on the number of containers, their contents, and consignments, and said a debate could be held after the report is officially tabled if necessary.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 As I said, we have no reluctance. It should be tabled officially. What was presented by your Hon. Member was a version circulated on social media. We cannot debate based on that, as questions may arise about its authenticity. We will table the official report. It contains many pages of summary as well.
¶ 02 Regarding your other questions—the number of containers, their contents, and consignments—those details are in the report. Once tabled, we can, if necessary, have a debate.
