The Honourable Speaker of the House has instructed that the following statement be published on the Parliament website.

A Report was published by the Sunday Sun of March 16th, 2025, written under the hand of Maria Bradshaw. The Parliament of Barbados has not published any Report of any Special Audit on the Building Programmes of HOPE by the Auditor General. In fact the Parliament of Barbados has not even received any such report.

Under Section 77 (5) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2019 it is required that any such report must be submitted to the Speaker of the House of Assembly who must lay the same as soon as possible thereafter.

It should also be noted that any publication of this alleged report cannot receive any privilege accorded to the Parliament of Barbados.
