Chaminda Wijesiri complained that the day’s Order Paper, prepared at short notice, was unfair because it included only five Questions for oral answers when at least ten could have been accommodated. He said time management constraints were also preventing Members who submit Questions from being given adequate time.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, although today’s Order Paper was prepared at short notice, there has been a serious unfairness. Only five Questions requiring oral answers have been included, but at least ten could have been. As you must manage time, even the Members who raise Questions are not given time.
