The Hon. Bhagya Sri Herath, Attorney-at-Law (on behalf of the Hon. Thilina Samarakoon)
Asked the Minister of Transport, Highways and Urban Development to provide details on the procurement of tyres and tubes for Sri Lanka Transport Board buses, including suppliers, supply capacity, tender periods, standards, and quality adequacy. He also sought clarification on foreign exchange expenditure for current purchases and whether locally manufactured tyres and tubes could be used instead, asking for reasons if this is not possible.
