The chairman of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Senator Robert Montague, says the party is reviewing the incident involving St Catherine South West Member of Parliament, Everald Warmington, in the Lower House on Tuesday.

During the sitting, Warmington called government minister Lisa Hanna a Jezebel.

The term is used to describe a wicked and conniving woman.

Warmington subsequently withdrew the comment.

However, the South West St Catherine MP has faced strong criticism over his conduct with calls being made for him to be suspended from the House.

The JLP chairman says the party must first investigate the matter before commenting or taking any action.

Warmington has been the subject of much criticisms over the years for his conduct inside and outside the Parliament.
