The United Progressive Party (UPP) has announced it will conduct public consultations with constituents before Parliament takes up the government's white paper on third-country deportees. According to Antigua Observer, the party intends to gather community input ahead of the debate, which is expected to take place during the week of July.
Senator Jonathan Wehner confirmed that the UPP's sole sitting Member of Parliament will meet with residents to hear their views on the matter before the parliamentary debate gets underway.
The white paper on third-country deportees is set to be a significant item on Parliament's legislative agenda, and the UPP's decision to first consult the public signals the party's intent to bring constituent voices directly into the political process.
