THERE WERE CHEERS for Opposition Leader Mia Mottley and boos for Prime Minister Freundel Stuart as the two key political party figures arrived at Parliament yesterday.

They vociferously welcomed arriving Opposition parliamentarians who, one after the other, walked outside Parliament Yard to accept hugs, kisses and acknowledge supporters screaming their names. (GC)
