Postponed parliament meeting reset for Monday

(CNS): The Cayman Islands political representatives are now set to meet in parliament on Monday, 22 July, as Speaker Alden McLaughlin has notified MPs of the new date. The government is currently scheduled to bring five bills, not including the proposed amendments to the National Conservation Act, which is still being drafted, according to a recent Cabinet note. The opposition, meanwhile, has a long list of parliamentary questions and several private members’ motions.

The bills to be considered include a supplementary appropriation relating to cash spent last year, the Summary Jurisdiction (Amendment) Bill, the Perpetuities (Amendment) Bill, the Pharmacy Bill, and the Firearms (Amendment) Bill.

The proceedings can be accessed live on the CIG YouTube channel, cable channels, and on Radio Cayman’s Breeze 105.3FM. Members of the public can also view the proceedings live from the public gallery at the House of Parliament after signing in with security.
