Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, this response is not to the Opposition Leader’s question on procedure but to clarify the conflicting statements. The Cabinet Spokesman told the country that you had received the Supreme Court determination; you say you have not. We accept what you say. The Cabinet Spokesman should clarify to the country that his statement was incorrect.
