The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to visit British Overseas Territories within the next six months.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Foreign Secretary is keen to visit the Overseas Territories, where diary demands allow. The Foreign Secretary and the Minister for the Overseas Territories, will continue to engage directly with the Overseas Territories, including during the November Joint Ministerial Council and in future visits to the Territories. In August, the Minister for the Overseas Territories met all of the elected Leaders of the Overseas Territories via video call.
