IN response to a recent Newsday editorial titled Delete Savings-Law Clause, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Camille Robinson-Regis has "reaffirmed" the government's ongoing commitment to constitutional reform.

A media statement from the AG's Office on April 8 referred to the editorial published on April 6.

That editorial highlighted concerns from the Law Association of TT and Timothy Affonso, deputy dean of the faculty of law at UWI, St Augustine. These concerns were about the savings-law clause in the Constitution, which preserves colonial-era laws, and the editorial called for the removal of the savings-law clause.
