Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, there was an example today itself: an Opposition Member asked a question and, with his consent, another Opposition Member asked the second supplementary. As Hon. Ajith P. Perera clearly stated, the second supplementary can be asked by another Member only if the original questioner permits. If not so permitted, there is no Standing Order that allows another Member to proceed.
