¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I thank the Hon. Deputy Minister for the answer.

¶ 02 My first supplementary: We must increasingly bring forward matters of archaeology and history. I propose that, under the leadership of our District Coordinating Committee Chair and Secretary in Galle, we establish a regular coordinating structure to discuss areas identified for archaeological evaluation. Then, as a district, we can prioritize this. Is there any legal barrier to forming such a committee and proceeding?
