We are saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Hubert Benjamin Hughes. Mr. Hughes served in the Anguilla House of Assembly in varying capacities over the years including: Chief Minister and Leader of Government Business, Leader of the Opposition and Member for the Road South constituency. Mr. Hughes served in the Assembly from 1976-1980, 1980-1981, 1984-2015 and was a pillar of strength in Anguilla’s political life for more than forty years.
As we commemorate the 45th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Anguilla House of Assembly, we pay tribute to stalwarts like Mr. Hughes, who established the foundation upon which our Parliament stands. His many years of service to the people of Anguilla is both a testament to his values and the lasting bond that he nurtured and maintained with the people he served.
On behalf of the Members and Staff of the Anguilla House of Assembly, I extend heartfelt condolences to his family, the people of Road South and to the wider Anguillian community.
Barbara Webster-Bourne
Speaker of the House of Assembly
