1957 Liquor Licensing Act.
He claims the
Liquor License Bill 2021 debated in the Senate o Wednesday, omits critical aspects of the original legislation and will only encourage more people to get involved in alcohol.
He is particularly opposed to the license it may give people to sell alcohol any and everywhere without the checks and balances imposed by the previous legislation.
He voiced his objection to the “irreverent” practice of alcohol being sold outside funeral services and said the draft legislation should have been circulated for public scrutiny and comment before it was brought to the House and the Senate.

The Nation received a report that staff at the Gordon Cummins District Hospital staged a sickout this morning.
This is the second time for the year that this occurred at the Rock Hall, St Thomas health institution, following that at the end of March.
Head of the Unity Workers’ Union, Senator Caswell Franklyn, confirmed the action was taken by staff. He said the nurses and general workers at the healthcare facility have been experiencing issues with management for a while but the Ministry of Health was not addressing the matter.
Franklyn explained that the staff, who worked last night, were asked to work back-to back shifts because their work colleagues called in sick today. (SB)
