If I could be the Prime Minister for one day, what would I do? The following are nine decisions that I would make.
Volcanic ash.
First, I would instruct Minister Sutherland to publish a preliminary report on recommended uses for the volcanic ash, in ten days. We got ash in Barbados over two weeks ago, so this report is long past due.
The report should include a chemical analysis of the ash, using the massspectrometer at the Government Analytical lab. It should also include seven-day: tension, compression, shear, and absorption tests on a one lime: three ash mixture, using testing equipment at the Barbados National Standards Institution’s lab.

Several HCC youth advocates made that clear yesterday when they held a demonstration at the Frank Walcott building on Culloden Road, St Michael, metres away from the Barbados National Standards Institution (BNSI).
Just after 10:30 a.m., the small group joined their colleagues in Antigua and Barbuda who simultaneously held placards and signs with messages “High in Sodium”, “High in Sugar” and “CARICOM leaders, we need warning labels now”.
