The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa - Minister of Health and Mass Media and Chief Government Whip
The Minister moved that the Auditor-General’s Report and subsequent Special Audit Reports and related parts presented by the Speaker be printed, and the House agreed. He also clarified that the day’s allocation of Private Members’ time and the Opposition motion was agreed by the House, and that scheduling decisions made through the Chief Opposition Whip are treated as the Opposition’s position, while individual Members may still withdraw their own motions.

¶ 05 Regarding the scheduling today, by agreement across the House, Private Members’ time was limited to 210 minutes, with 30 minutes per motion, and two hours thereafter for the Opposition motion. This was agreed in the House, not merely in the Committee on Parliamentary Business.
