Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government why the Governor of the Falkland Islands was given full Governor dress uniform which is not available to all other Overseas Territories Governors; and what plans they have to make that uniform available to other Overseas Territories Governors.

Since 2001, Government policy has been that Overseas Territories should decide whether they wish to retain and fund ceremonial uniforms for Governors. The Governments of the Falkland Islands and Bermuda have chosen to retain the uniforms. The Governors of Gibraltar have traditionally worn military uniform.
