Hon. Ravi Karunanayake raised a procedural concern about delays in placing and answering parliamentary questions, noting that a question submitted in 2024 was only being included in the Order Paper in late 2025. He called for a proper mechanism to ensure timely responses, particularly because Members are limited to asking one question per month.

¶ 01 There must be a proper process for answering questions. I submitted this question in 2024; it is now late 2025 for inclusion in the Order Paper. We need a mechanism to ensure timely answers, as Members can ask only one question per month.
