Government is ready to start debate on the no-confidence motion filed by Opposition Leader Mia Mottley against Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler last Wednesday.
Leader of Government Business in the House of Assembly John Boyce said yesterday they were ready to proceed with the motion whenever the Opposition Barbados Labour Party indicated its readiness.
“The Government is not standing in Miss Mottley’s way. Once the Standing Orders permit, we will debate,” he told the DAILY NATION.
Mottley pointed out, however, that while she was indeed ready as she stated at Sunday’s mass rally in Queen’s Park, she was bearing in mind that Members of Parliament had not yet seen the motion.
“Members have not thus far had sight of the motion and will have none until I give notice in the Lower House this morning . . . . However, if the Government wants to run roughshod, we will be ready, whether they use fair or foul means,” Mottley added. (RJ)
