The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake - Leader of the House
Hon. Bimal Rathnayake requested the Speaker to consider expunging from Hansard an allegation made against a Minister during a supplementary question, citing Standing Orders. He also noted that a full-day debate on the matter had already been scheduled and urged Members not to use the House’s time to discuss it at that point.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I have two points. First, the Hon. Member, in raising a supplementary, directed an unnecessary allegation at the Minister. I request you to consider expunging it from the Hansard in terms of Standing Orders. Second, as the Leader of the Opposition also knows, there is a full-day debate scheduled on this matter where it can be discussed. Therefore, let us not waste the time of the House now.
