Hon. Dullas Alahapperuma,— To ask the Prime Minister and Minister of National Policies and Economic Affairs,—
(a) Is he aware that even though the Minister of Finance in his address to Parliament that followed the presentation of the revised budget 2015 pledged that the decentralized budgetary allocation of Rs. 5 million given to a Member of Parliament would be increased to Rs. 10 million with the Hon. Prime Minister confirming it to the House, no Member of Parliament has received it for the year 2015 until 10th September 2015?
(b) Will he state—
(i) whether the sum of Rs. 5 million, which a Member of Parliament was entitled to throughout the history, would be made available to them at least during the next few months of this year; and
(ii) if not, whether he would admit this as a breach of privilege caused by the present government, which has been enjoyed by a Member of Parliament continuously for over four decades?
(c) If not, why?
