TOBAGO HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY THURSDAY, APRIL 26TH, 2018 The House met at 1.33 p.m. PRAYERS [MADAM PRESIDING OFFICER in the Chair] ANNOUNCEMENTS STATEMENTS OF PRIVILEGE MADAM PRESIDING OFFICER: Members, on February 22nd, 2018 two (2) Statements of Privilege were brought to this Honourable House. The first was brought by the Leader of Assembly Business and the other by the Member for Parlatuvier/L’Anse Fourmi/Speyside. Both Statements sought that their matter be referred to the Committee of Privilege for further investigation and evaluation.
In this regard, careful consideration and
deliberation on both matters were done in determining whether prima facie cases exist and today, these rulings will be present. I will begin by providing a brief historical context of what constitutes privilege within the House.
