The Foreign Affairs Committee of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is conducting an inquiry into the Overseas Territories, including Bermuda.
The subject is security and good governance of the Overseas Territories.
- Standards of governance in the Overseas Territories
- The role of Governors and other office-holders appointed by or on the recommendation of the United Kingdom Government
- The work of the Overseas Territories Consultative Council
- Transparency and accountability in the Overseas Territories
- Regulation of the financial sector in the Overseas Territories
- Procedures for amendment of the constitutions of Overseas Territories
- The application of international treaties, conventions and other agreements to the Overseas Territories
- Human rights in the Overseas Territories
- Relations between the Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom Parliament
Interested parties are invited to submit written evidence before January 31, 2008. While discouraging partisan snippiness, I encourage Bermuda citizens who are interested in reform to make their views heard.
Instructions on how to submit your views to the Foreign Affairs Committee may be found here.
