Abstract
New Labor MP, Clive Solely is sponsoring a motion in the British House of Commons saying that this house is appalled by the racist content of a statement by MP, Terry Dicks. In Antigua, the opposition United National Democratic Party says it will challenge the result of last week's general election in as many as five constituencies. The British tabloid, the Sun has written an article that claimed breaches in security at Parliament Building during the Queen's visit to Barbados. Barbados' Commissioner of Police, Orville Durrant denied such allegations. Trinidad and Tobago has begun a major thrust to attract tourists from Europe. Minister of Tourism, Ken Gordon who has visited Britain, Italy and Germany is impressed by the response. At the Canadian enquiry into drug use by amateur athletes, Ben Johnson's sporting colleague Angela Taylor-Issajenko admits to the use of steroids.
