July 20, 2011 02:20 pm
Parliament Speaker, Chamal Rajapaksa informed parliament today (July 20) that permission will be granted for a special parliamentary statement to be made with amendments regarding the hedging deal tomorrow.
Yesterday, DNA MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s request in parliament to make a special statement regarding the hedging deal was met with opposition from the government side as two court cases are currently still ongoing in foreign courts.
After considering the demand and the objection, the Speaker stated today that a statement with amendments will be allowed in parliament tomorrow (July 21).
