The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Ravi Karunanayake raised a procedural concern that annexes said to have been tabled in response to his Question No. 310/2024 on 20 June 2025 were not included in the Hansard record or the physical answer. He said this undermines Members’ access to information when, due to time limits, they accept the tabling of answers instead of full oral responses.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 We are not being heard of in this House, Sir!
¶ 02 On the 20th of June, 2025, Question No. 310/2024 was answered in this House. In answering my Question, certain Annexes were said to have been tabled by the Hon. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Livestock. But the Answer does not carry the Annexes that were said to be tabled.
¶ 03 When our Questions are answered in Parliament, due to time restrictions, we agree to tabling the answers. But once we get the Answer through Hansard or receive it physically, we do not find them included. So there is deprivation of information we are supposed to receive from that Question.
