Hon. Bimal Rathnayake - Leader of the House
Moved a procedural motion to extend the scope of Ministerial Consultative Committees until 28 February 2025, notwithstanding earlier parliamentary motions. The motion allows the Committees to examine not only Bills under Article 152 of the Constitution but also other Bills or Agreements, institutional Annual and Performance Reports, and matters referred by Parliament, other Committees, or Ministers within their mandates. The motion was put to the House and agreed to.
