Title: Dr. Eric Williams and the Press
Author Williams, Eric Eustace,
Abstract: Race riots:
A second-point raised by the delegate from Diego Martin West, the future of Parliament: the abuse of parliamentary privilege to attack people who can’t answer, and that parliamentary immunity protects them from the laws of libel and slander. Parliamentary privilege and immunity is another hallowed tradition of parliamentary democracy, Westminster-style to stop people being arrested for debt, or arrested in the precincts of Parliament; or to stop the tyrannical King send his guards into a Parliament saying pick up X and put him in the Tower of London.

Abstract

Message by the Prime Minister Dr Eric Williams on the eighth anniversary of Trinidad and Tobago Independence. When we achieved our Independence on August 31, 1962, the tide
of decolonisation was at its height. France had been decisively defeated
in Vietnam; the UAR had taken over the Suez Canal; Algeria
had won its war of liberation; Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania had
achieved their Independence. The Independence movement had also
spread to the Caribbean, and Jamaica’s National Day precedes our
own by a few days.
