The Tobago House of Assembly (THA) on Monday continued its programme of squatter regularization with the distribution of leases to nine of 44 families of Lammy Lands, Argyle.
Of the remaining 35 families 20 are with the Assembly's legal department for processing while the remaining parcels are still to be surveyed.
Chief Secretary Orville London who assisted in the distribution of the leases at the Calder Hall Administrative Complex said all 44 families will receive their leases by the end of the second quarter this year.
The families have been squatting at Lammy Lands for between five and 20 years. The parcels range from 500 square meters to 1,700 square meters.
