MPs can only appeal after the visitor returns to his or her country, unless there are exceptional and compelling circumstances. The report concludes with a look at what the British newspapers has been saying that are of interest to the Caribbean. Reports include Princess Diana's vacation in the Caribbean; Fran Bruno's trainer, George Francis; Ben Johnson's coach to testify; and former athlete, Daley Thompson wants stiffer penalties for users of drugs in sports.
