Hon. Jeevan Thondaman clarified that issuing land titles should include allocating land for people to build their own houses, not merely granting titles for existing houses. He also requested that the Labour Minister convene the Wages Board to address wage issues with company representatives present.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, thank you for the clarification. One further point: when we say “issue land titles,” we mean giving land to people so they can build their own houses, not only titling already-built houses. On wages, please ask the Labour Minister to convene the Wages Board; then all the company representatives will come before you. Thank you.
