SPEAKER Jagdeo Singh has warned members of the House of Representatives that they should think long and hard before invoking the sub judice rule.
He issued the warning after ruling no action was required on a motion of privilege raised against Diego Martin North/East MP Colm Imbert who sought to invoke the rule during debate in the House on June 13.
The rule is a parliamentary convention which seeks to prevent members discussing an issue currently before the court or awaiting judgment.
