The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Chaminda Wijesiri complained under Standing Order 32 that his parliamentary questions were not being placed on the Order Paper, despite repeated requests. He said one question had been postponed three times, causing a delay of about six months before it could be asked, and alleged that an official was arbitrarily preventing his questions from appearing.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, under Standing Order 32, I submitted a question. My questions are not coming on the Order Paper. I have repeatedly raised this. Yesterday I asked a question that had been postponed three times. When postponed three times, it takes two more sitting weeks; only after three sitting weeks can it reappear, so it took six months for me to get to ask it. This is unfair. Under SO 32 my questions are not being placed on the Order Paper. I state that an official is arbitrarily keeping my questions off the Order Paper.
