The decision to remove personal security detail from former Prime Ministers Stuart Young and Dr Keith Rowley came after a threat assessment was presented to the Government by the T&T Police Service.

This was revealed by Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander, speaking with the Express Wednesday.

Alexander emphasised that while the removal of Young's detail may have been within a day of the Government passing legislation that removed the former prime minister's pension, the two were not connected.
