Cuffie: No counterclaim against QRC

Cuffie said QRC principal, David Simon, must draft a letter to apply for use of the site, which will be considered by Cabinet.

A statement later from Cuffie’s Ministry said the QRC head was buoyed by the talks, held at the Education Ministry with the two ministers, plus Minister of State, Dr Lovell Francis.

Cuffie said QRC will make a claim for the site to the Education Ministry. The ministry will examine and, if they support that claim, will in turn make a request to the Ministry of Public Administration which, if they agree, can prepare a Cabinet note for him.

If he supports it, he can take it to Cabinet to make the ultimate decision.

Cuffie said he cannot presume what Cabinet’s decision will be.
