Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I would just like to clarify the matter raised by the Hon. Member. He said the allocation for estate housing development is insufficient. The President’s Budget clearly states that Rs. 4,267 million is allocated for estate housing and infrastructure development. This covers on-going projects and completion of partially built houses from previous years, plus initiating new ones. Under this, we expect to complete work on 1,300 houses this year.
