AI summary generated by gpt-5.5

Hon. Ravi Karunanayake raised a procedural concern that when answers to parliamentary questions are merely tabled, Members cannot immediately review them in order to ask informed supplementary questions. He suggested providing copies of such answers in advance to avoid limiting Members’ ability to question the Government effectively.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Such Questions are raised to obtain answers and then ask Supplementary Questions. But when the Answer is tabled, we cannot see the contents immediately. It would be better if copies are provided beforehand; otherwise questioning is constrained.
