The Governor’s Office announced on Monday that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has responded formally to the report published earlier this year from the UK’s Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) entitled “Global Britain and the British Overseas Territories: Resetting the relationship”.
The FCO’s response represents the UK Government’s formal response to the FAC report and covers all the FAC’s recommendations. In particular:
Belongership
Same-sex marriage
An FCO Spokesperson said “We take our responsibilities to the OTs extremely seriously. The UK Government works hard to assist the OTs in building successful and resilient economies, improving standards of governance and protecting vulnerable groups; and providing support to aid protection of the environment. The UK’s commitment to these will not waiver”.
