Mem­bers of the Op­po­si­tion Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress walked out of Par­lia­ment to­day again, twice as At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Regi­nald Ar­mour got up to speak in the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives.

The Op­po­si­tion has been call­ing for Ar­mour to re­sign or be fired af­ter a US court ruled that he could not rep­re­sent T&T in the Pi­ar­co Air­port Cor­rup­tion case be­cause he had rep­re­sent­ed one of the de­fen­dants, for­mer fi­nance min­is­ter Bri­an Kuei Tung.

Ar­mour had said in an af­fi­davit that he on­ly played a mi­nor role in rep­re­sent­ing Kuei Tung more than 14 years ago but case files showed he was ac­tive­ly in­volved.

In a state­ment Mon­day, Ar­mour said he did not seek to mis­lead the court but was on­ly stat­ing what he had rec­ol­lect­ed at the time.

The Op­po­si­tion walked out of the Sen­ate on Tues­day and had al­so done the same in the House at a sit­ting last week.

Ar­mour's first state­ment of the House that prompt­ed to­day's walk­out was on Pro­cure­ment leg­is­la­tion and the Op­po­si­tion walked out again lat­er when he rose to speak on the Na­tion­al In­sur­ance (Amend­ment) Bill.

He is due to speak at a news con­fer­ence at 4.30 pm to­day.
