when Government maps out its strategy to take Bermuda into the 21st Century.

The House of Assembly will convene tomorrow when the Governor, Lord Waddington, reads the Throne Speech -- Government's legislative plans for the coming year.

Yesterday Premier David Saul was giving away few secrets about the contents of the Speech, although he said new legislation would be tabled.

He added that the main themes would centre around family issues, the economy, drugs, crime, education and training.

"What Government is doing in this speech is setting out its vision for the 21st Century and how we can train, educate and prepare Bermuda and Bermudians for that,'' said Dr. Saul.

"Obviously we have to deal with issues that are on people's minds, such as crime, drugs and education.

"We also have to deal with the economy and people's economic well-being which is of paramount importance because that is where people see the UBP is strongest, taking care of the economy.'' He said that for Government's plans to work, there needed to be a strong family unit -- as problems with crime and drugs often stemmed from a breakdown in the family.

"We will be stressing the strength of the family unit and at the same time we know we have to do something about women's issues and issues which concern the public, such as anti-stalking and domestic violence.'' Dr. Saul added: "We will also be talking about education and training for the 21st Century and how we can look beyond one year at a time, how we can prepare Bermudians for the 21st Century knowing that their jobs are secure and the economy is sound.'' Tomorrow will mark the debut appearance for a new leader of the Progressive Labour Party.

It is expected that the present leader Jennifer Smith will face a leadership challenge from the Shadow Home Affairs Minister Alex Scott at the PLP confernce tonight.

Whoever wins will make their debut as Opposition Leader in the House of Assembly when it re-opens.

Tomorrow also marks the Parliamentary debut of Paula Cox who held the late Frederick Wade's Devonshire North seat for the PLP in a recent by-election.

In the Senate, former Financial Secretary Sen. Walwyn Hughes will take his place as the new Independent Senator, replacing Dr. Norma Astwood who resigned her post earlier this year.

The pageantry for the convening of Parliament begins at 10.35 a.m. with the arrival of the Bermuda Regiment band and guard at the Cabinet Building.
