Hon. S.M. Marikkar sought clarification on the procedural implications of a committee name change. He asked whether the existing Sectoral Oversight Committees and Ministry Advisory Committees from the previous Parliament were being merged into a single category, or whether they would continue to function separately.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I need a brief clarification. In the previous Parliament we had both Sectoral Oversight Committees and Ministry Advisory Committees. With this name change, are those two categories being merged into one, or how will it work?
