Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I will read: “In raising a Point of Order, a Member shall not speak for more than one minute, and shall not speak on the merits of a matter under consideration.” Next, under 92(2)(b): “Except when a Division is being taken, a Point of Order may be raised to ensure correct procedure is being followed…” That is what I am asking.
