| Chief Secretary Orville London |
Following the January 21st THA election in which the People's National Movement won all 12 seats, London wrote Persad-Bissessar on January 29th requesting an urgent meeting to discuss at least three issues. These were a review of the process for the granting of internal self government to Tobago, a review of the relationship between Ministers of Government and Secretaries in the Tobago House of Assembly and funding for housing programmes in Tobago.
In her response dated January 31st Persad-Bissessar requested that his office liaise with her office to arrange a mutually convenient date and time for the meeting.
This will be the first official meeting between the two in almost a year. Section 31 of the THA Act says that the Prime Minister and the Chief Secretary shall hold regular discussions with a view to formulating administrative and legislative mechanisms for the promotion of harmony in the affairs of Trinidad and Tobago.
