Legislative Assembly to Launch National Debates on Topics of National Interest

The Montserrat Legislative Assembly (MLA) is moving to engage the public on topics of national interest and encouraging the increase of national dialogue on Montserrat.

It is on this premise that the MLA will be launching several national debates in the upcoming parliamentary year.

Word on this comes in a media release from Speaker of the House, Honourable Charliena White.

The public is encouraged to be actively involved in these national debates by volunteering to be one of the panelists where possible, attending the debates in person or listening to the live transmission, as well as completing the online survey.

The online survey will allow people to express their views on the topics for national debate and to share the names of people who they would like to see take part.

Speaker White states that in the process of debating, it is expected that various facts will be highlighted, and differences of opinions will be expressed.

Therefore, she says people are encouraged to be tolerant and respectful of others.

The House Speaker adds that the Assembly looks forward to what promises to be an exciting time as Montserratians everywhere become involved in the upcoming national debates.

No dates have been released for the debates.
