Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, although there is in-principle agreement with the Vice-Chancellor, without a formal Council decision we cannot proceed. We have informally learned the University is concerned about the maintenance burden. If the Hon. Member can also impress upon the University to convey a clear decision, we can then pursue alternatives. We intend to reopen discussions.
