Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Deputy Minister gave an excellent answer to the Hon. Member’s question. That is the first point. Secondly, you gave him opportunities for two Supplementary Questions, and after very clear answers were given, repeated questioning violates our procedures.
