A motion of censure against two Government MPs involved in the Jetgate row has been tabled in the House of Assembly.

Opposition leader Marc Bean gave notice that he intended to move a motion next week asking MPs to discipline Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell and former Attorney General Mark Pettingill for their role in the Jetgate affair.

Mr Bean accepted that, as the OBA has a slim majority, if all its troops are marshalled for the motion, it would fail.

But said: “At the same time, our responsibility is to bring this censure motion to the House because as an Opposition we’re going to fulfil our obligations.

“This is just our continuation of holding the One Bermuda Alliance to account and it’s very much justifiable.”

Mr Bean said if the motion were to pass it could be “a slap on the wrist”.

“At the same time, there are rules of the House. Part of the motion is that they misled the House and the Speaker has remedies whereby he could punish a Member, but that’s up to the Speaker.

“It could end up being a slap on the wrist, but it certainly goes on the record,” said Mr Bean. “We know the One Bermuda Alliance has the majority and if they have all their Members in the House, it won’t pass.”

The motion alleges Mr Crockwell and Mr Pettingill “failed to respect the Ministerial code of conduct and failed to apprehend or acknowledge the seriousness and or gravity of their acts and omissions for breaching the Ministerial code of conduct.”

Mr Bean said the pair failed to give “accurate and truthful information” to Parliament in connection with the flight on wealthy US tycoon Nathan Landow’s private jet to Washington in March 2013.

He added that the pair breached the code in “accepting the following favours, namely free air transportation and hotel accommodation from an individual or individuals who are in negotiations with or seeking to enter into contractual or proprietary or pecuniary relations with the Government of Bermuda.”

Mr Bean’s motion added that the two had also failed to inform the House of “the full nature and extent of their involvement in connection with the above trip at the earliest opportunity, in particular, failed to inform this Honourable House fully as to the involvement of a private citizen on both the flight on March 20, 2013 and the subsequent meeting in Washington DC on March 21 and in so doing contributed to the Honourable House being misled on the details of the said flight and said meeting.”

And he said the pair also deserved censure for “failing to appreciate, apprehend or grasp the level of public disquiet that has arisen as a result of their failures.”

Mr Bean added that Mr Crockwell should also be rapped for failing to follow then-Premier Craig Cannonier, who quit almost two weeks ago over the row, and resign as a Minister.

And he said Mr Pettingill deserved a reprimand for his advice that the flight and meeting were not a breach of the Ministerial code.
