The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa
Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa stated that the Government aims to uphold parliamentary traditions and maximize democratic practice by encouraging Ministers to answer Standing Order 27(2) questions on the same day where possible. He noted that some questions require data from multiple ministries, but said replies are being expedited, including two answers to be given that day under Ministerial Statements.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, our hope is to uphold parliamentary traditions for maximum democracy. We have instructed Ministers to answer SO 27(2) questions on the same day where possible. Some questions, however, are very broad and require gathering data from multiple ministries. Even so, we are expediting replies; today we will answer two questions under Ministerial Statements, and others soon.
