Hon. Thanura Dissanayake posed a supplementary question to the Speaker regarding the oversight of firearms issued in Sri Lanka. The member inquired whether a formal review of issued firearms had been conducted, and if so, sought specific details including the timing of such a review, the scope of tasks undertaken, and the conclusions or findings that resulted from it. The question was framed in the context of public safety concerns.
Mr. Speaker, my first supplementary question is this. Given the importance of public safety, has a review been conducted regarding firearms issued in our country? If so, when? What tasks were carried out and what findings emerged?
