Bermuda News Updates

In an effort to capture some of the important aspects of Bermuda’s history, the Government advised that over the next few months, CITV will be airing a series of interviews with former Premiers of Bermuda.

Entitled Conversations with A Former Premier, the 45-minute show features three separate interviews with former Premiers Alex Scott, Sir John Swan, and Dr. Ewart Brown. 

The interviews are being carried on CITV as part of its fall progamming line-up (see programme schedule below).

To correct a recent statement made to the media by the Farmers Association, currently, the Board of Agriculture (the Board) has a maximum of twelve members, and 50 per cent of those are registered commercial farmers focusing on in-ground crop production, organic type farming, and dairy and microgreen production. 

The Minister of Public Works, Lt. Col. the Hon. David A Burch, OBE (Mil), ED, JP, MP, stated: “It is completely irresponsible and alarmist to simply throw out grossly misleading information as fact and the Shadow Minister should know better – this Ministry will always provide accurate information.”
