A review of the Buggerly will be taken to Parliament soon, this was revealed by Minister of Information Senator Sandrea Falconer at yesterday's post Cabinet press briefing.

Senator Falconer told journalists reporters that Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller remains committed to her promise on the issue.

In the lead up to the General Elections in 2011 Simpson Miller said she would support a conscience vote in the House of Representatives on reviewing the buggery law.

However, the matter was not a priority on the Government’s agenda as it sought to secure a deal with the International Monetary Fund.

Senator Falconer said with the IMF deal out of the way effort is underway to address the matter of the buggery law.

Gay right lobby groups have complain that little action has been taken by the Government since the Prime Minister made the announcement.
