The Hon. K.D. Lal Kantha - Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Land and Irrigation
The Minister clarified, in response to a question raised under Standing Order 27(2), that no Gazette had been issued for land acquisition. He stated that the relevant Gazette issued by the Department of Land Settlement concerned land regularization and settlement, and that further questions based on an assumption of acquisition were therefore not applicable.
