Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we can debate it, or if needed the Government can defeat it. We prefer to allow the debate. However, I propose we convene a Party Leaders’ meeting and take the debate tomorrow, because this evening there is a special discussion on narcotics suppression with the Minister of Public Security and officials. Therefore, under your leadership, let us schedule it for tomorrow.
