Free movement laws in A&B to be strengthened

St. John’s Antigua- The key debate at this year’s OECS Regional Assembly was the implementation of the Free Movement of People and Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer said the nation’s laws in this regard would be solidified in a matter of months. Spencer acknowledged that most of the seven- member states and two associate member- states have yet to implement free movement of the sub-region’s citizenry, but said there is a renewed “commitment” to do just that after the conclusion of the Assembly. The prime minister said government is wasting no time with the process in Antigua & Barbuda, noting the Immigration Act is making its way through Parliament for its first reading.
