Bimal Rathnayake rejected a procedural allegation by Hon. Nalin Bandara, stating that the claim was incorrect and that the Government had come prepared. He explained that a Secretariat mix-up led to him being asked to lay two parts, but the Speaker properly laid them, so no procedural error had occurred.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, had Hon. Nalin Bandara been appointed Leader of the House or Speaker, that might be in order. Hon. Member, please refresh your understanding; that assertion is incorrect. We came prepared. The Secretariat may confirm: there was a mix-up, and I was asked to lay two parts, but the Speaker correctly laid them himself. There is no blunder.
