The morning was initially dedicated to routine parliamentary business, as outlined in Standing Order 22, which spanned from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
This was followed by a scheduled hour for Questions for Oral Answers from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., allowing members to raise matters directly with the government.
From 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., time was allocated for Questions under Standing Order 27(2), providing further opportunities for members to seek clarifications on pressing issues.
The highlight of the day was the Adjournment Debate, focused on the government’s “Clean Sri Lanka” programme, which was scheduled to run from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
