UK Foreign Affairs Committee launches Sub-Committee on Overseas Territories

Yesterday, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons launched a Sub-Committee on the FCDO’s management of relations with the Overseas Territories.

In a statement, the Committee said:
“There are 14 UK Overseas Territories with a total population of around 270,000 people, most of whom are British citizens.

Most Territories have elected assemblies and their own constitution. Each Territory has a UK Government-appointed Governor, who generally holds responsibility for managing the Territory’s external affairs, defence and internal security, and often the power to make or veto laws.
