Speaker of the House of Representatives Juliet Holness has called on members of Parliament not to use the Lower House to play politics.

She made the appeal during yesterday’s meeting of Parliament’s Standing Orders Committee.

Her comments come in light of the recent incident involving the Speaker and Opposition Member of Parliament Dr. Angela Brown Burke.

The incident has sparked widespread debate about the conduct of MPs in Parliament.

The House Speaker urged her colleagues not to use the Houses of Parliament to play politics, noting that they should set an example for those who are watching.
