The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri raised a matter under Standing Order 32, alleging that questions he submits according to procedure are not being included in the Order Paper. He said only deferred or second-round questions appear, while new, time-sensitive questions submitted by him were absent in the current and previous months. He asked the Leader of the House, Chief Government Whip, and the Speaker to personally look into the issue.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I raise this under Standing Order 32. During the Eighth Parliament, while the Government was in office, I asked the highest number of questions. There is a serious unfairness to me, Hon. Speaker. The questions I submit do not get included in the Order Paper. Hon. Leader of the House and Chief Government Organizer, what gets included are only the questions I raise for the second round. I submit questions according to the procedure, but they do not appear. You said otherwise, but clearly, none of my questions were included this month or last month. Only a deferred question appeared. None of my newly submitted questions ever gets on the Order Paper. Why is that? I ask time-relevant questions. Please look into this personally.
