Foreign Affairs Committee inquiry into The future of the UK Overseas Territories inquiry - transcript from Dec 18

Scope of the inquiry

This inquiry will consider the resilience of the Overseas Territories (OTs), how effectively the FCO manages its responsibilities towards them, and how it envisages their future. The inquiry is likely to be structured around overarching themes but may look at individual OTs, as and when appropriate.

Evidence given by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN, Ben Merrick, Director, Overseas Territories, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
