Par­lia­ment breaks its mid-year re­cess to­day to de­bate as­pects of the Fi­nan­cial In­tel­li­gence Unit law which needs to be in force by Au­gust 27, Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Jack Warn­er said yes­ter­day. Par­lia­ment has been on its an­nu­al break since mid-Ju­ly and was ex­pect­ed to re­sume next month. To­day's House ses­sion be­gins at 10 am. Speak­ing at the week­ly post-Cab­i­net me­dia brief­ing yes­ter­day, Warn­er ex­plained that the Low­er House and Sen­ate must sit to de­bate and pass two new as­pects of the law which T&T?must com­ply with by this month. The FIU law and the lo­cal unit are in­tend­ed to curb white-col­lar crime and ter­ror­ism. Warn­er said a for­eign team of eight peo­ple would be com­ing to T&T?to in­ter­view him­self, Fi­nance Min­is­ter Lar­ry Howai and At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan, to "grill" the Gov­ern­ment on how well T&T?had com­plied with the in­ter­na­tion­al char­ter in­volved in the is­sue. He said T&T?had made sig­nif­i­cant progress on at­tack­ing white-col­lar crime and af­ter T&T "pass­es"?the team's scruti­ny with "fly­ing colours," it would be re­vealed just how much progress was made. Al­so dur­ing yes­ter­day's me­dia brief­ing, Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Min­is­ter Ja­mal Mo­hammed dis­pelled ru­mours that Sep­tem­ber 3 might be a pub­lic hol­i­day.
