A Senior MP has requested the Government to allow members of Parliament to enter the Law College and State Universities for higher studies without an exam.
Chief Opposition Whip MP Lakshman Kiriella told Parliament yesterday that it must be granted as a Parliamentary privilege after taking into consideration the service period of MPs in Parliament.
MP Kiriella pointed out that previously Parliamentarians were permitted to enter the Law College without sitting for the entrance examination.
He said that Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa was such an MP who had entered the law college in the 1970s.
MP Kiriella further said several young capable MPs from both the ruling party and the opposition are currently in Parliament and they must be given this opportunity. (NewsWire)
