PRIME Minister Stuart Young says he is satisfied with the explanation given by Housing Minister Adrian Leonce about a business link he had with a person with alleged criminal ties in the UK.

Young made this statement to the media at Belmont Secondary School on March 25, after participating in a nomination day dry run held by the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) for candidates contesting the Port of Spain North/St Ann's West constituency in the April 28 general election.

Young is the incumbent MP and PNM's candidate for that constituency. He referred to a statement released on Monday by Leonce on the matter.
