Copies of the tabled documents had only just been prepared, and the Member stated that such documents are formally kept in the first-floor Library. He said he had no authority to hand them directly to another Member, though he could provide a copy if necessary, and objected to the claim that he was required to do so.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, there are many pages. Only now were copies made and brought here. I have no authority to hand it to him; tabled documents are kept in the first-floor Library. If necessary, I can give it now, but saying it must be given like that is wrong; I have no authority to hand it to him.
