The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara
Dayasiri Jayasekara stated that the issue of brown sugar production should be resolved within the Government rather than raised in Parliament, while acknowledging its importance. He said Sri Lanka has sufficient capacity to produce brown sugar and that a previously resolved issue has re-emerged. He urged the relevant Cabinet Minister and Deputy Minister to submit a Cabinet proposal to immediately remove VAT.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, this issue should be resolved within the Government; it is not something to be raised in Parliament. Nevertheless, we thank you for bringing it up. We have sufficient capacity to produce brown sugar in this country. This issue had been resolved previously and has re-emerged. You, the Cabinet Minister and Deputy Minister, should bring a proposal to Cabinet to immediately remove VAT.
