The Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara, Attorney-at-Law - Minister of Justice and National Integration
The Minister of Justice and National Integration stated that more time is needed to answer a Standing Order 27(2) question received the previous day. He said the question includes several data-dependent sub-questions, including figures on detentions and prosecutions under the Prevention of Terrorism Act since 1979, and requested time to provide a comprehensive response.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, this question under Standing Order 27(2) was received yesterday. To respond accurately we need time, as many sub-questions require data—for example, numbers detained and prosecuted under the PTA since 1979. Without proper data, a proper answer cannot be given. Therefore, we request time to respond comprehensively.
¶ 02 Thank you.
