Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, Customs is related to the economy. If we go by the Order of Business as at the stage we are at now, that matter has no direct relevance here. However, the Hon. Members raised an important point. Therefore, there is no need to create a separate debate on that. There is a comprehensive debate on the economy today. The relevant Ministers will clarify all that during the debate.
