President of the Senate Tom Tavares-Finson has defended the decision not to table the controversial Integrity Commission report involving the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA), insisting that Parliament “will not bow to intimidation or threat” amid mounting criticism from the Opposition.

He also defended Speaker of the House Juliet Holness against accusations that she alone was responsible for delaying the report, arguing that the decision was made jointly by Parliament’s presiding officers after consultation with legal advisers.

Speaking during Friday’s sitting of the Senate after Opposition Senator Lambert Brown questioned whether other Integrity Commission reports had been submitted to Parliament but not tabled, Tavares-Finson confirmed that a report concerning the FLA had been received on March 30, 2026, but remained untabled.
