¶ 01 Out of respect for your industry expertise, I checked these details. To clarify for the public: if medically fit, ages 23 to 65 can drive buses. After 65, if medically fit, one may drive private vehicles. That is the law. Therefore, no issue.

¶ 02 Please allocate the six minutes to Hon. Thanura Dissanayake.
