Deputy Speaker Randy Horton has pledged to report back to MPs on the findings of the parliamentary committee on crime before the House of Assembly adjourns for the summer.He told the House on Friday there had been “some disquiet” about when the joint select committee on violent crime and gun violence, which held its first meeting in November, would deliver its report.“I thought it important to give a brief update,” said committee chairman Mr Horton. “The parliamentary joint select committee has listened to 45 presentations from various government organisations, non-government organisations and private individuals involved in finding solutions to the problem, including prison inmates.“When possible, hearings were made public and have received wide publication in the press. We would have wished to have reported by now, however did not envision the plethora of information we must sift through.”Mr Horton said other events had overtaken the committee, including the fact he’d taken six weeks medical leave.The PLP politician added: “The committee is now well on the way to completion of the report and it is our intent to complete so that the House may debate our report before we rise in July.”Sixteen men have been fatally shot in Bermuda since May 2009. Mr Horton first called for a bipartisan committee to look at the spiralling gang and gun problem in May 2010.Members of his committee include Government MPs Ashfield DeVent and Lovitta Foggo and Opposition politicians John Barritt and Michael Dunkley.It wasn’t possible to reach Mr Horton for further comment yesterday.The joint select committee on education set up in late 2008 has never delivered a report to Parliament. Premier Paula Cox’s spokeswoman said in December it was expected soon.The spokeswoman said yesterday she would need to check with the Ministry of Education for an update on when it would be completed.
