In response to a query on land acquisition procedure, the Minister stated that the records do not confirm whether a specific title examination was conducted. He noted that standard land acquisition practice requires verifying relevant title documents before purchase, and therefore it is presumed the purchases followed such verification.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, the records do not indicate whether such an examination was or was not conducted. However, generally, under the standard procedure for land acquisition, the relevant title documents are examined prior to purchase. Therefore, we believe the purchases would have been made after such verification.
