Opposition erupts as Green moves to shut down Cuba vote censure debate
In a move that appeared to catch the parliamentary Opposition off guard, Leader of Government Business Floyd Green last evening called for a critical debate on an Opposition motion to censure the Government to be halted after just two contributions. After dismissing the Opposition’s motion as “absurd”, Green asked that the debate be closed, invoking Standing Order 38, which provides for the closure of debate. House Speaker Juliet Holness put the question to the House and later said that Green’s request was supported by the “ayes”.
