Incident goes to Committee of Privileges

The incident involving St Joseph Opposition MP Dale Marshall and Cabinet Minister Dr David Estwick  has been referred to the Committee  of Privileges.This was announced on Tuesday in the House of Assembly by Speaker Michael Carrington at the start of the day’s sitting. He said a prima facie case had been established. However, he indicated that St Michael South East MP Hamilton Lashley’s crossing of the floor from the Opposition to the Government affected the composition of the committee. He therefore added that the Opposition would be given time to address this matter. (WG)
