Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the Government of Guyana on the need to call elections within the constitutional time limit following the loss of a no confidence vote in December 2018.

Guyana's Court of Appeal is expected to rule on this matter shortly. The UK Government continues to encourage both parties to work together to reach a resolution which meets Guyana's constitutional provisions. The British High Commissioner to Guyana has on several occasions stressed the importance of respecting the Constitution, most recently during a speech at the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry on 18 March.
