The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri raised a Point of Order under Standing Order 31 concerning the scheduling of parliamentary Questions submitted to the Table Office. He alleged that the previous practice of listing Questions in order had been changed to favour the Government and requested guidance to protect Members’ right to ask Questions and ensure the proper order is maintained.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a Point of Order. Under Standing Order 31, your Guidelines are valuable. However, another matter: we submit Questions to the Table Office, and in previous Parliaments they were scheduled in order. That changed in the new Parliament; an officer at the Table Office altered the order to suit the Government. He is now in the Office of the Leader of the House. Even now it continues likewise. We request your guidance so that Members’ right to ask Questions is protected and the proper order is maintained.
