However, this is not the case as the law making body is scheduled to meet on Tuesday August 1, 2017, according to a senior NDP official who spoke to our newsroom.
The Order Paper has not been seen by the source as Members are just being advised of the meeting date. The source, who normally speaks to our newsroom, also mentioned that there will be an informal meeting/sitting of Elected Members on Thursday July 20, 2017.
Usually informal Sittings of the HoA are not opened to the Public and they are an opportunity for all 13 elected Members to be briefed on a Bill or for some national issue to be discussed before it reaches a formal Sitting.
It is unclear when the Body meets on August 1, 2017 whether the Opposition Virgin Islands Party will fire questions to Government Ministers.
The Virgin Islands Parliament, a one House Chamber, last met on June 13, 2017 in Road Town, the capital city.
