To ask Her Majesty's Government whether their relationship with the Government of Anguilla is deteriorating; and, if so, why.

The UK Government understand the economic and financial challenges facing the Government of Anguilla and are keen to work closely together in line with our strategy for the Overseas Territories, focusing in particular on: increasing engagement between the UK and Anguilla; strengthening good governance, financial management and economic planning; and identifying external support, including from the European Union and the Commonwealth of Nations. I look forward to productive discussions with the Chief Minister on these issues at the forthcoming Overseas Territories Consultative Council later this month.
