Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, I seek two simple clarifications. In Geneva, you mentioned your stand about the Provincial Councils Election and also that a delimitation process will take place. We want to know the status and timeline of that. Secondly, regarding the Office for Reparations: you mentioned it will be independent and unbiased. Does its current membership consist only of ex-servicemen, or are others included, and are you adding more members?
