Mr. Speaker, imagine having to brave the waters and travel on a regular basis to Tortola from Virgin Gorda, stand in a long bank line to have transactions done, and sometimes return home without being successful.

Mr. Speaker, when we were in the midst of the campaign, we declared “every posse must work!”

The Leader of the Opposition and Member for the Eighth District to ask the Honourable Minister for Transportation, Works & Utilities the following questions:

The House of Assembly of the Virgin Islands has procedures in place to ensure a smooth process for the passing of the Territory’s budget.

I have read His Excellency, the Governor Mr. Augustus Jaspert’s statement dated     

I am aware of the Honourable Speaker's latest statement relating to representation in the Fourth District.  

I want to start by giving God all the glory, honour and praise.

I recognise all those who have been recognised before. I also recognise the presence of all dignitaries and their spouses. But it would be remiss of me if I didn’t recognise my very good friends from the U.S Virgin Islands, Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the U.S Virgin Islands, Governor Bryan Jr., and Lieutenant Governor Roach – two very good friends of mine.

Mr. Julian Willock was elected and sworn in as the Speaker of the House of Assembly during the First Sitting of the First Session of the Fourth House of Assembly on Tuesday, March 12.

Good morning.  My name is Julian Willock, the Speaker of the Fourth House of Assembly.  I thank God for allowing me to be here with good health and strength.
