## Summary The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri invoked Standing Orders 27(3) and 11(g) to assert a procedural obligation on the Speaker, arguing that when a question submitted under Standing Order 27(2) is ruled inadmissible, the Speaker is required to state the specific grounds for that inadmissibility ruling.

Mr. Speaker, under Standing Orders 27(3) and 11(g): If a question under SO 27(2) is rejected as inadmissible, you must indicate the grounds of inadmissibility.
