This is evidenced by his membership in the Eta Sigma Phi (National Classics Honor Society) fraternity, the International and Philosophy clubs.
[11] In December 1966, Spaulding represented George "Feathermop" Spence who was acquitted of a charge of arson and rioting after the accused set fire to the West Lane business place of Louis Rashford in Kingston.
[12] Spence was a political enforcer for Spaulding and the PNP, and accompanied Prime Minister Manley on his historic trip to Cuba in July 1975 as part of an unofficial group.
In November 1967, Spaulding along with his brother Winston, served as defense counsel for Loban Campbell who was acquitted of the charge of fatally shooting Albert Brown in August of 1966 on Chestnut Lane.
[16] In April 1972, Spaulding suggested the establishment of a National Housing Bank which would function to provide low cost mortgages funded by payroll deductions.
This was in response to his view that the existing Jamaica Mortgage Bank did not serve the "priority social purpose" of funding low cost housing.
[18] Also in early 1972, he sought to acquire lands such as Hampstead Park Estate in St. Andrew and McIntyre in Brown's Town Central Kingston for National Development and as part of the Urban Renewal Programme.
Contracts were later signed in March 1975 for the second and third phases consisting of 316 units, a basic school, day care and a community centre at a cost of $3.1 million to be completed in December 1976.
[21] Stating the intention to acquire Hampstead Park Estate during his maiden speech, Spaulding informed the House of Representatives that files related to the sales of the land to L.C.
McKenzie by the Minister of Housing and Member of Parliament for the Saint Andrew South Western constituency Wilton Hill of the previous administration were missing.
[22] In May 1972, Hill sought a censure against Spaulding on the grounds that the current minister made previous statements and produced a Ministry Paper that was inaccurate or misleading, regarding the Hampstead Park lands.
[24] In another exchange with Hill later that month, Spaulding alluded to giving priority to individuals who had not been employed within the previous 10 years, for positions working on the resumption of the Sandy Gully improvement project which has been halted after the elections.
[25] In June 1972, Spaulding said that he planned to write to Prime Minister Manley about the "tear-gas-like" fumes radiating from the Industrial Chemical Company (ICC) in Spanish Town.
Lightbourne who was also a parliamentarian in the West Indies Federation was making his contribution to the austerity debate when he exclaimed that the people should express their disinterest in Communism and that Minister Spaulding had sought links with communists with the expectation of gain.
The location and the circumstances surrounding the previously existing culture of consolidating power using government housing, led opposition minister of housing Hill, to express concern and note that Tivoli Gardens had the best record of payment in the corporate, that it was against previous government policy to evict individuals who always found it difficult or impossible to pay, and that Spaulding stated soon after taking office that he would never put people's belongings out on the sidewalk.
[31] In May 1973, Spaulding announced that land had been acquired from the Anglican Church in order to provide 60 low-income housing units in Santa Cruz and Siloah in Saint Elizabeth Parish.
Spaulding then called on the "campus socialists" who were members Trevor Munroe's pro-Soviet Marxist-Leninist Workers' Liberation League (WLL), to stop disuniting the people over "who is more revolutionary than who".
Spaulding later referred Allen to this response when he was asked about the alleged theft of money carried out by the teenagers and the existence of a report that they were armed with a gun and knives.
Eli Matalon, then Minister of National Security and Justice, disclosed this to the House of Representatives on September 23 and further stated that the DPP's report completely lays to rest all rumours surrounding Mr.
The statement went further to call the allegations that Spaulding and Duncan led a large mob to the courthouse with the aim of intimidating the court and preventing a fair trial of the case, totally false and mischievous.
Residents also outlined in the statement that they are willing to pay rent but are unable to do so since the Ministry of Housing's office had been relocated to neighouring PNP stronghold Arnett Gardens a few months prior.
This was on the basis of there being no denial by Spaulding of his intention to instruct the "PNP Watchmen Force" to search private homes in violation of the constitution.
[45] At the tenth annual of the Kingston Central Constituency held on 13 June 1976, Spaulding told the crowd that CIA was involved in attempts to destabilize the country.
