Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order.

¶ 02 Hon. Speaker, the Privilege Questions referred to by Hon. Ajith P. Perera, Hon. Ravi Karunanayake and others concern increasing Committee membership. There is no need to consume further time. A clear indication has been given that this can be discussed and decided. If their Privilege Questions are about Committee composition, then please discuss as recommended and resolve it, rather than take the time of the House. If it is not like the Hon. Archchuna Member’s traffic issue, and is about Committee membership, then talk and settle it.
