STRIP CLUB OWNERS have sent a letter to three Cabinet ministers calling for the regulation of the industry which they claim attracts a patronage of between 30 000 and 40 000 Barbadians.
Following an hour-long meeting at the Lucky Horseshoe Saloon and Steakhouse, Worthing, Christ Church, yesterday, spokesman Charles Lewis said correspondence, urging the formation of a special committee to develop the framework for regulations and guidelines for strip clubs had been dispatched to Minister of Tourism Richard Sealy, Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler and Minister of Industry and Small Business Donville Inniss.
“There are significant benefits to be derived from regulating the industry as opposed to the waste of taxpayers’ money to keep raiding the clubs all the time,” he said.
Lewis also challenged the police’s claim of human trafficking at the adult entertainment spots.
