Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, Ministers will respond. This debate on the economy is scheduled for 26 consecutive days, and this issue can be raised there and at the Committee. We are ready to answer urgent questions at any time, but disrupting proceedings merely to draw attention is not appropriate. There is ample time—six to seven hours—for Members to raise matters and for Ministers to respond.
