Hon. Sajith Premadasa - Leader of the Opposition
Hon. Sajith Premadasa asked for clarification on the scheduling of Ministerial Consultative Committees following the Speaker’s announcement of the Supreme Court determination on the Local Authorities Elections (Special Provisions) Bill. He requested a mechanism to ensure Members receive and review the determination before attending the committees, noting the likely time lag in printing and asking whether the committees would proceed that day and at what time.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, you have just presented the Supreme Court’s determination on the Local Authorities Elections (Special Provisions) Bill. You instructed that it be printed. To my understanding, the Ministerial Consultative Committees are meeting this afternoon. Is that correct?
¶ 02 There will be a time lag for printing. It is important that a mechanism be put in place so that we receive the Supreme Court determination before participating in the Ministerial Consultative Committees. We must have an understanding of the Supreme Court’s decision when attending those committees. Therefore, I would like to know whether the Ministerial Consultative Committees will be held today, and at what time.
