To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has plans to visit any British Overseas Territories in the next 12 months.
Answered by
David Rutley
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The Overseas Territories are an integral part of the British family. In addition to our ongoing support, visits by the UK Government reaffirm the unique bond between the UK and the Overseas Territories. Lord Goldsmith, Minister for Overseas Territories, recently visited Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands and saw first-hand the positive impacts of the UK and Overseas Territories partnership. We look forward to further engagement, including during the Coronation and at the Joint Ministerial Council in May, where I plan to welcome and meet with the Overseas Territories' leaders.
