The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri raised a procedural concern about delays in Questions for Oral Answers, stating that although one of his questions had been given one month for a reply, parliamentary scheduling effectively delayed his ability to place a new question on the Order Paper for three months. He asked the Speaker to intervene and correct what he described as an unfair restriction on his ability to submit further questions.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Under Questions for Oral Answers, my Question that was on the Order Paper yesterday has been given one month for a reply. That is acceptable. But the problem is that during that month, in Parliament it becomes three months. Until those three months pass, my new Question does not get placed on the Order Paper. Is that not wrong? Is that not an injustice to me, Mr. Speaker? Please direct that this be corrected. Please correct it.
