Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I welcome the Hon. Member’s study of the Parliamentary (Powers and Privileges) Act and request that we all act accordingly. For the record, minutes of discussions with employees have been tabled. One demand noted was restricting transfers of salt to other parts of the country. Another was replacing a Manager because he was from Kilinochchi rather than Jaffna—such discrimination is unacceptable.
