UK MPs Set To Visit Cayman Islands
The Governor of the Cayman Islands, Stuart Jack, has this week announced that the UK Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons will visit Grand Cayman from the 9th to 11th of March, as part of its inquiry into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's exercise of its responsibilities in relation to the Overseas Territories. MPs Sir John Stanley, Paul Keetch and Greg Pope are representing the Committee
on the visit. Their work programme includes meetings to discuss the constitutional review;
financial regulation; disaster management; illegal immigration; and human rights.
The visitors will also meet with the Cabinet and Members of the Legislative Assembly. The Committee is appointed by the House of Commons to scrutinise the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office. It is made up of backbench MPs from Government and
Opposition parties, reflecting the membership of the House as a whole. At the end of its inquiry, the Committee will make a report to the House. The UK Government will then have two months to respond to the Committee's recommendations. .
