Conservative, Romford
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had recent discussions with his Haitian counterpart on the Turks and Caicos Islands.
David Rutley
Assistant Whip (HM Treasury), Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
Rising instability in Haiti has led to increased numbers of people departing to nearby countries, including the UK Overseas Territory of Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI). The UK and TCI Governments are working with international partners including the Haitian authorities, and through our role on the UNSC, to build a coordinated response that addresses the root causes of irregular migration from Haiti to TCI. The UK continues to provide TCI with support to strengthen its borders, including through border security expertise and the lease of a maritime surveillance aircraft.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
