Here’s the sequence of events that took place in Parliament on Friday night that caused a shouting match:

Around 9.30 p.m., Parliament was examining the supplementary budgetary allocation to the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs when Opposition MP Stuart Young raised concerns over a $13.7 million allocation for the residence of the Permanent Representative in New York.

Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Sean Sobers explained the expenditure, noting that the building was unfit for use and that rent was being paid for another property.
