The House of Representatives was the lower chamber of the parliament of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) established in 1947 by the Soulbury Constitution. The House was housed in the old State Council building in Galle Face Green Colombo and met for the first time on 14 October 1947. The First Republican Constitution of Sri Lanka adopted on 22 May 1972 replaced the House of Representatives (and Parliament of Ceylon) with the unicameral National State Assembly.
