As enacted

8. Amendment of Statistics Ordinance and other written law

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Wherever in any provision of the Statistics Ordinance or other written law or of any notice, communication, form or other document issued, made required or authorised by the

Statistics Ordinance or such other written law, the expression

“Director of Statistics” occurs, there shall be substituted for that expression, the expression “Director-General of Census and Statistics”, and accordingly, wherever in any such provisions there is a reference to “Director” denoting the

Director of Statistics, such reference shall be read and construed as a reference to the Director-General of Census and Statistics.
