Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he has no issue with a recommendation by United Progressive Party Leader Harold Lovell to inaugurate the constitutional review commission before the end of the month.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Harold Lovell has called on Prime Minister Gaston Browne to ensure that the Commission is established by the end of this month ahead of the planned referendum on November 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Browne said he planned to do so after residents decide on whether or not Antigua and Barbuda would replace the London-based Privy Council with the Trinidad-based Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But speaking on the radio station which he founded, Pointe FM, the prime minister said he’s okay with Lovell’s suggestion.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“I do not have any difficulty with it “we will try and meet that deadline as recommended by him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne said the UPP might view this request as “a test of our commitment.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“However, I am quite prepared to do so before the end of the month.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says based on his government’s commitment to pursue comprehensive constitutional reform “I don’t see how they could say they are not supporting the referendum.”\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Given the government’s commitment, the prime minister again called on Lovell and those within the UPP to help make the transition to the CCJ successful.<\/p>
