The Gallery for visitors again

The restrictions enforced on visitors to the Parliamentary Complex and to the Galleries have been relaxed from September 20, the Communications Department of Parliament said.

The decision has been taken at the Committee on Parliamentary Business on Wednesday (14) following a proposal made by the Serjeant-at-Arms.

As a preliminary step, it was agreed to allow parties who request to visit the Parliament, including school children, but on days when there are no parliamentary sittings.

Accordingly, with effect from 20th September 2022, the School Children will be allowed to visit the Parliamentary Complex on Non-Sitting days from 9.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. (except holidays).

According to the Communications Department of the Parliament, to take this opportunity, now the School Authorities can be submitted their applications to the  Serjeant-at-Arms by sending a letter, a Fax (0112777473/ 0112777335) or by applying online through www.parliament.lk,”.

Also, Student Groups of Universities, Higher Education Institutes registered under the Government and Foreign Tourists too could avail this facility, the Serjeant-at-Arms said.
