Parliament Committees


Committees for Special Purposes

In Sri Lanka Parliament there are eight Committees of this nature functioning at present. They are as follows:

Committee of Selection

At the commencement of every Session, this Committee is appointed to consider the number, function and constitution of Consultative Committees and Legislative Standing Committees and to nominate members to serve upon the Committees for Special Purposes. The Committee of Selection consists of the Speaker, as Chairman, and ten members including the leaders of political parties or their nominees to be nominated by the Parliament at the commencement of each session.

House Committee
This consists of the Speaker as Chairman and nine members to be nominated by the Committee of Selection to consider and advise upon all matters connected with the comfort and convenience of Members.

Committee on Standing Orders

This Committee consists of the Speaker as Chairman, Deputy Speaker, the Deputy Chairman of Committees and six other Members to be nominated by the Committee of Selection. The duty of this Committee is to consider matters of procedure and conduct of Business of Parliament and to recommend any amendments to the Standing Orders.

Committee on Parliamentary Business

This consists of the Speaker as Chairman, Deputy Speaker, Deputy Chairman of Committees, the Leader of the House of Parliament, the Leader of the Opposition, the Chief Government Whip, the Chief Opposition Whip and five other members to be nominated by the Committee of Selection. The duty of this Committee is to consider and decide on the time allocation for the discussion of Business of Parliament and other matters that the Speaker in consultation with the Leader of the House of Parliament, refers to the Committee.

Committee on Public Accounts

This is one of the two Financial Committees in the Parliament. It consists of twelve members nominated by the Committee of Selection. The duty of this Committee

is to examine the accounts showing the appropriation of the sums granted by Parliament to meet the public expenditure.

Committee on Public Enterprises

This is the other Financial Committee in the Parliament which consists of twelve members nominated by the Committee of Selection. The duty of this Committee is to examine the accounts of the Public Corporations and of any Business Undertaking vested in the Government.

These two Committees have the power to summon before them and question any person, call for and examine any paper, book, record or other documents and to have access to stores and property.

Committee on Privileges

This consists of ten members nominated by the Committee of Selection. This Committee examines every question of Privilege that may be referred to it by the Parliament on a Motion moved and approved. The Committee, on every question of Privilege, has to determine whether a breach of Privilege has been committed and if so, the nature of the breach, the circumstances leading to it, and make recommendations and state the procedure to be followed in giving effect to such recommendations.

The Committee has the power to send for persons, documents and other records and to do all such acts as are necessary for the fullest investigation of the matters referred to it.


Committee on Public Petitions
This consists of ten members nominated by the Committee of Selection. The duty of this Committee is to consider the petitions sent by the public and referred to it by the Parliament and to report back to the Parliament its opinion on the action to be taken in respect of such petitions. This Committee has the power to summon before it and question any person, call for and examine any paper, book, record or other document and to have access to stores and property.

No member shall be appointed to a Committee if he is not willing to serve on it. The Whips and the Leaders of the parties are also consulted before nominating members to the Committees. The Committee of Selection normally nominates the members to various Committees in proportion to the strength of the parties in the Parliament.

The number of members in each Committee also varies. The majority of Standing Committees have 20 members each. The minimum number is nine in the case of the Committee on Standing Orders.

The Chairmanship of a Committee normally goes to a member belonging to the party in power. The Speaker is the Chairman of the Committees such as House Committee, Committee on Standing Orders and Committee on Parliamentary Business. The Chairmen of the rest of the Committees for special purposes are elected from among the members of the Committee. The Chairmen of the Select Committees are appointed by the Speaker.

Unless otherwise specified in the Standing Orders the quorum shall be three members and shall be the duty of the Chairman of such Committee not to function without the required quorum.

The Sri Lanka Parliament has devised a well-knit Committee System, working under a uniform set of rules. These Committees, apart from the obvious advantage of saving floor time, have made a distinct contribution to the effective functioning of parliamentary democracy in Sri Lanka.

The effectiveness of a Committee is very much dependent on the personality of the Chairman of the Committee. If the Chairman wants to harness the energies of all the Committee members, he can find ways and means to do so. He can even cast a sort of obligation on the members by appointing sub-committees and making some of the members Chairmen of those sub-committees.

In all the Committees, there is always a group of members taking a special interest in their work. They are the members who really take an interest in the Committee work and attend meetings regularly. This fact should be taken into consideration because it will be an advantage for the effective functioning of the Committees if developed properly.

The Committee System of Sri Lanka, though British in origin, has changed its character in keeping with the changing developments in the Sri Lanka Parliament and the society. The Committees have acquired more power and do enjoy wide jurisdiction too. At the same time, they have provided greater and valuable contribution to the day to day business of the Parliament.

Select Committees

These are Ad-hoc Committees and they are appointed by the Speaker to inquire into and report to the House on a particular matter referred to these Committees. The scope of an inquiry by these Committees is defined by the Terms of Reference under which they are appointed, but it may be enlarged or restricted by the instruction of the Parliament. The Chairman and members are appointed by the Speaker. A Select Committee consists of not more than twelve members. But this can be increased with the leave of Parliament. Parliament empowers these Committees to send for persons, papers and records.

Consultative Committees

The Committee of Selection, at the commencement of every Session of Parliament, appoints a number of Consultative Committees corresponding to the number of Ministries of the Cabinet. The Minister in charge of the subject is the ex-officio Chairman of each Committee. But in the case of the Ministries which are under the President, the Deputy Ministers of those Ministries function as Chairmen.

The functions of a Consultative Committee are "to inquire into and report upon such matters as are referred to it by the Chairman or by Parliament including any proposals for legislation, supplementary or other estimates, statements of expenditure, motions, annual reports or papers." For this purpose each Consultative Committee has power to send for and examine persons, papers and records, to move from place to place and to do all such acts that are necessary for the fullest consideration of the matters referred to it. It has also the power to initiate through the Chairman any Bill or Motion. The Annual Reports and Accounts of various Departments under the respective Ministries which are presented to the Parliament by the Auditor-General of Sri Lanka regularly are immediately referred to the Consultative Committee of the respective Ministry for consideration. The Consultative Committees have to present their reports to the Parliament within three months

Committee on Public Accounts

The task of the Committee on Public Accounts is to probe the managerial efficiency and financial discipline of the Government, its Ministries, Departments, Provincial Councils and Local Authorities. The Committee is established at the beginning of each Parliamentary Session under Standing Order 125 and consists of 19 Members. It reflects the party composition in Parliament and its quorum is four.

The duty of the Public Accounts Committee is to examine the sums voted by Parliament along with the report of the Auditor-General, which is in 06 volumes. In the course of its deliberations, the Committee obtains evidence from the Secretaries to the respective Ministries, who are the Chief Accounting Officers, Heads of Departments and other responsible Officers. The Committee also regularly summons the Directors-General of Public Finance, State Accounts and National Budget or their nominated representatives.

It is the duty of the Chief Accounting Officers to personally appear before the Committee in order to explain and justify the financial activities of the Departments under the purview of their Ministries.

The recommendations of the Committee may contain directives to Government Departments and Ministries and such directives are deemed to be those of the Parliament.

Copies of Committee reports are distributed among the respective Officers of the Ministries, Departments, Provincial Councils and Local Authorities.

Committee on Public Enterprises

While the Public Accounts Committee exercises oversight in the financial performance of Government Institutions, the Committee on Public Enterprises has been established on 21.06.1979 to ensure the observance of financial discipline in Public Corporations and other Semi Governmental bodies in which the Government has a financial stake.

The Committee on Public Enterprises, which consists of 19 Members reflecting the party composition in the House, is established under the Standing Order 126 at the beginning of each Parliamentary Session and the Chairman is elected by the Members of the Committee at its first session. Its quorum is four.

The duty of the Committee is to report to Parliament on accounts examined, budgets and estimates, financial procedures, performance and management of Corporations and other Government Business Undertakings.
The accounts of these organizations are audited by the Auditor-General and form the basis of the investigations of the Committee. It has the power to summon the relevant officials and such other people as it thinks fit to obtain evidence and call for documents. The Committee reports to the Parliament and the recommendations contained in their reports are deemed to be directives to the respective Corporations or Statutory Boards for due compliance.
