Hon. Ravi Karunanayake raised a procedural concern that a Member had been allowed to ask a supplementary question on fertilizer after an initial question about paddy land filling. He noted that similar supplementary questions are sometimes ruled irrelevant, implying inconsistency in how relevance is applied during oral questions.
