Parliament starts on road to a Republic

Attorney General Dale Marshall today laid the first piece of legislation to support Barbados’ move to a Republic on November 30.

“I have the tremendous honour to move the first reading of the Constitution Amendment Bill of 2021. This is the Bill that will take us to Republican status and represents the beginning of an important moment in our history,” Marshall said in a brief statement in Parliament this morning.

The AG also moved the first reading of the Prevention of Corruption Bill, 2021 and the Remediation Agreements Deferred Prosecutions Bill, 2021. (RB)
