Governor-General Dame Sandra Mason, who is the Queen’s official representative in Barbados, said in her speech delivered on Tuesday: “Since independence, we Barbadians have sought constantly to improve our systems of law and governance so as to ensure they best reflect our characteristics and values as a nation.
“Barbados’s first Prime Minister, The Rt Excellent Errol Walton Barrow, cautioned against loitering on colonial premises.
“That warning is as relevant today as it was in 1966.”
When asked to comment on Barbados’ plans, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “This is a matter for the government and people of Barbados.”
