FOTBOT STATEMENT ON THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ON OUR FUTURE RELATIONSHIP

Published 22/01/20

This month a former UK Minister expressed the view that the British Overseas Territories should have elected representatives in the House of Commons. Whilst FOTBOT welcomes discussion on the matter as we do all topics to do with the OTs, as an apolitical charity we have no view and remain neutral.

It is essentials that the respective wills of each British Overseas Territory are placed at the forefront of this discussion, and the UK Government and Parliament should do all it can to facilitate the wishes of the British Overseas Territories when it comes to their individual constitutional positions.
