Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa
Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa stated that the Government is not evading the question and is following parliamentary procedure. He explained that because the original question had been amended, the Prime Minister could not answer it immediately, and the Government would respond at the next sitting through an official statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, we are not evading questions. We are acting fairly within the procedures. The Minister of Foreign Affairs will also make an official statement in Parliament. The issue is that after the Hon. Member changed his original question, the Hon. Prime Minister cannot answer the amended one at this moment. Therefore we said we would answer it at the next sitting. There is no evasion. We will provide a reply through the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
