Minister of Housing and Lands, Denis Kellman is expected to move several supplementary resolutions, when the House of Assembly reconvenes tomorrow.

Under Section 5 of the Land Acquisition Act Cap. 228, Government will seek to compulsorily acquire crown land at Gemswick, St. Philip so the public will be able to use it for recreational purposes.
