Danushka Ranganath referred to the Land Reform Commission Law No. 1 of 1972 and noted that LRC land allocation and documentation programmes could be used to bring non-productive lands into productive use. He asked whether the LRC has, or has begun, an appraisal-based mechanism to allocate its lands to vetted MSME and entrepreneur business proposals.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, based on the LRC Law No. 1 of 1972, programs such as land parcel allocation and issuing documentation have been implemented. There is scope to bring currently non-productive lands into productive use through a new, clear mechanism.

¶ 02 My first supplementary: To encourage MSMEs and entrepreneurs, is there a process within the LRC to allocate LRC lands for vetted business proposals? Has such an appraisal-based mechanism already begun?
