(Barbados Nation) Member of Parliament for St Michael North West, Neil Rowe, has been removed as Deputy Speaker.
Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of Government Business, Santia Bradshaw, moved the motion moments ago in the House of Assembly.
It was passed and he was replaced by MP for St Thomas, Cynthia Forde.
MP for St Philip North, Dr Sonia Browne, rose to query the motion, saying they had “all of 0.2 seconds to respond”.
However, Speaker Arthur Holder said the only thing up for consideration was the selection of Forde.
Rowe is before the courts, charged with rape. He has been committed to stand trial.
