Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, I seek clarification from you and the Leader of the House. Customarily, a Party Leaders’ Meeting is held during the parliamentary week to discuss the next week’s agenda. For this week, we have not been informed of the date and time for the Party Leaders’ Meeting to discuss the next week’s business. Without that, Members do not have adequate time to prepare for debates.
