A legal challenge to force the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate to table an Integrity Commission (IC) investigative report into allegations of corruption and irregularities at the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA) could be on the horizon if the two referees of Parliament refuse to table the document in short order.

Sharing a legal opinion from eminent senior counsel Michael B Hylton, KC, with Juliet Holness, the Speaker and Tom Tavares Finson, the Senate President, Opposition leader Mark Golding said if the FLA report was not tabled at the next sitting of the Lower House and the Senate, respectively, he would be instructing his lawyer to file proceedings in the court.

Hylton said the investigative report should be tabled, arguing that the reasons submitted for not tabling it could be successfully challenged in court.
