It will be all eyes on the Throne Speech tomorrow but it is still unclear whether Government will carry out its promise to bring in legislation outlawing discrimination against gays.

Last year Community Affairs and Sports Minister Dale Butler promised legislation but it was left out after Premier Alex Scott declared it ?not a priority?.

Yesterday Mr. Butler refused to say what would happen on Friday.

And Progressive Labour Party spokesman Scott Simmons was staying equally tight-lipped over what the speech would bring.

Premier Scott has already promised to explain the reasons behind creating a new National Drug Control Ministry now headed by new Cabinet appointee Wayne Perinchief.

The Throne Speech ? which will be read by the Duke of York ? will also address the issue of crime and drugs Mr. Scott promised recently and would leave Bermuda in no doubt there was a strategy to meet the demand of housing. A new initiative to tackle race and racism by bringing communities together has also been promised.

Opposition Leader Grant Gibbons chided Government for a string of unfulfilled promises from last time around.

Government had not put up emergency prefabs which are still in storage at the Quarry while plans to allow absentee balloting, protect vulnerable witnesses and establish a register of child abusers had not been carried out, said Dr. Gibbons.

He said last year?s Throne Speech had promised plenty of seminars, summits and strategies, many of which had not materialised, while there had been no real change on the key issues.

And of the PLP?s performance in Government he said: ?Sure, there is twice-a-week garbage pick up, the buses are still running, you can ride the ferry. ?But there has been no significant or substantive progress on issues like affordable housing, on reform of the health care system, on education, on pension, tourism and violent crime.

?The list goes on. So it is very difficult for the Premier to scrape to find things they can point to with any measure of success.?

Former Government Senator Cal Smith said he believed sustainable development would be a massive part of the Throne Speech.

?It is at the core of their legislation programme, it includes housing and the environment. I don?t think any big secrets are going to come out.?

He said the two recent Cabinet changes had shown where the Government?s priorities lay by signalling a need to tackle housing and drugs.
