The Hon. S.M. Marikkar
Hon. S.M. Marikkar raised a supplementary question on the Sri Lanka Electricity (Amendment) Bill due to be presented the following day, referring to amendments previously agreed by the Sectoral Oversight Committee and approved by Cabinet. He requested that the fully approved Cabinet text be provided to the Committee that morning under Standing Order 50(2), to ensure it matches the Committee’s consensus and the version tabled in Parliament.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I wish to raise a supplementary question regarding the Sri Lanka Electricity (Amendment) Bill scheduled to be presented tomorrow. Hon. Minister, with the full concurrence of the Ministry of Power, a series of amendments to the Sri Lanka Electricity Act, No. 36 of 2024, as carried out by the Sectoral Oversight Committee on Infrastructure and Strategic Development, were tabled by the Chairman of that Committee on 2025.07.22. Thereafter, it was submitted to the Cabinet and approved yesterday. Although, after I spoke by phone on Friday, a few amendments were sent by the Secretary, there was no complete document. If those amendments align with the Committee’s consensus and with what was tabled in Parliament, there is no issue. However, under Standing Order 50(2), the fully approved Cabinet text must be provided to the Committee before tomorrow’s proceedings. Could you please arrange for the Secretary to provide it to us this morning?
