The House of Assembly of the Turks and Caicos Islands is the legislature of that British Overseas Territory. It has 21 members, 15 members elected for a four year term in single-seat constituencies, 3 members ex officio, 3 appointed members and a speaker chosen from outside the house. The name of the house was changed from the Legislative Council of the Turks and Caicos Islands to its present name following the implementation of the new constitution on 9 August 2006. In August 2009, the United Kingdom suspended the Turks and Caicos' self-government after allegations of ministerial corruption. The prerogative of the ministerial government and the House of Assembly are vested in the islands' governor for a period of up to two years.^[3]

Clayton Greene was the incumbent speaker.
