The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Chaminda Wijesiri objected under Standing Order 32(3) to a Minister’s request for more time to answer a question, stating that the same question had already been put to the Prime Minister. He said the Prime Minister had provided a reasonable response on the sugar issue and requested that the Minister explain to the House, and to the Speaker, why additional time was needed.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, I raise this under Standing Order 32(3). The request for time by the Hon. Minister is not fair. I asked this very question from the Hon. Prime Minister. It is the same question. If the Minister does not have the answer, I can send it now. Please do not allow falsehoods, Mr. Speaker. The Hon. Prime Minister has already given a very reasonable answer regarding the sugar issue. The Minister must inform the House the reason for seeking time, and you too should be informed, Mr. Speaker.
