The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Ravi Karunanayake objected that despite shortening his question to comply with the Speaker’s preference for Standing Orders and concise proceedings, an answer was still not being provided the same day. He noted that the purpose of reducing questions was to enable same-day responses and referenced the Leader of the House’s earlier view that answers should also be brief.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, typically you prefer to proceed strictly under Standing Orders. Even after reducing my question from two pages to less than one, we are still not getting an answer today. I sense the Hon. Nalinda Jayatissa intends to ask for more time. The intent of trimming questions was to secure answers on the same day. The Leader of the House said yesterday even answers should be shorter.
