They were the recently-appointed Attorney General, Wilhelm Bourne, who replaces Ronald Scipio who relinquished his post earlier this month and will be going into private practice; and Acting Deputy Governor, Dr. Aidan Harrigan.
Mr. Carty welcomed Mr. Bourne and his wife to Anguilla saying his job as Attorney General was an onerous and important task and offered his best wishes. The Speaker took the opportunity to express his delight over the acting Deputy Governor appointment of Mr. Harrigan and was pleased that Anguillian young men were being given opportunities to serve in such positions.
