The Hon. Gayantha Karunathilleka
Hon. Gayantha Karunathilleka sought procedural clarification regarding the scheduling of an adjournment debate under Standing Order 19(2)(a). He noted that the Order Paper allocated 5.00–5.30 p.m. for Questions at the time of adjournment, which are not taken when an adjournment debate is held, and asked whether proceedings could end at 5.30 p.m. to allow two hours for the debate, requesting guidance from the Secretariat.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I seek clarification. Although our earlier adjournment debate request under Standing Order 19(2)(a) was resisted, today’s Order Paper has 5.00–5.30 p.m. allocated for Questions at the time of adjournment. When an adjournment debate is held, Questions at the time of adjournment are not taken. Therefore, can we conclude proceedings at 5.30 p.m. as scheduled and allocate two hours for this debate? We request guidance from the Secretariat.
