The dire implications of McAlpine’s Ocean Industries Incorporated Bill for Freeport’s economy
Dear Editor,
Perhaps in a move to get under the skin of the Free National Movement administration that sacked him from the Hotel Corporation in 2018, the outspoken Pineridge MP Frederick McAlpine tabled a private Bill for an Act to repeal the Ocean Industries Incorporated (Aragonite Mining Encouragement) 1971 in the House of Assembly in early December 2020.
The readership would recall that, much to the annoyance of Bamboo Town MP Renward Wells, House Speaker Halson Moultrie allowed the bill, drafted by Bahamian Evolution, to be read in Parliament.
