The FCO team will take part in a live radio phone-in on Radio Turks and Caicos on Friday 20 May as part of the consultation on the Draft Constitution.
Callers will get a chance to comment or ask questions on the final recommendations submitted in March by Constitutional and Electoral adviser to the FCO Ms Kate Sullivan.
The show takes place from 5pm to 7pm and will be broadcast live on Radio Turks and Caicos via the Internet on www.rtc107fm.com.
Callers wanting to speak to the team should ring either 1900 222 2007 or 339 4782. These numbers will be linked to 4 different lines for the purpose of handling a large amount of calls.
This morning the FCO team said:
“We’re very grateful to everyone who has attended and contributed at the public meetings this week.
In the meetings so far, we have heard clearly the strong feeling that the draft constitution has created and we will be reporting this back quickly and accurately to Henry Bellingham when we return to the UK. We are already giving consideration to possible changes to the draft to present to the Minister.
We know that many people want a return to the 2006 constitution, and that they are concerned about the changes to the voting system and increases in the Governor’s reserved powers. But if there are more suggestions that people have, we encourage them to get in touch with us on Friday.”
The team will hold the last public meeting on the Island of South Caicos today. Consultation on the draft Constitution will continue until the 28th May via email submissions to the team.
