The Home Invasion (Self-Defence and Defence of Property) Bill, 2025, has been passed in the Lower House without Opposition support.
Shortly before midnight, debate on the legislation that seeks to criminalise home invasion and empower occupants of homes to lawfully defend themselves, others, and their property came to an end and was put to a vote after a division was called by Opposition MP Colm Imbert.
The vote ended with 23 votes in favour, including the 21 United National Congress MPs in the House and the two elected members of the Tobago People’s Party.
