In a release sent to RTC News from the FCO team, the members state that ‘We are very grateful to everyone who attended the public meetings across the Turks and Caicos Islands this week.’
In the release the Director also mentioned that ‘We have heard your views very clearly and we can confirm we will invite a representative delegation from the TCI to meet Minister for the Overseas Territories Henry Bellingham in London to discuss changes to the draft constitution.’ We hope to host the meeting next month.
The delegation will include a representative from the Consultative Forum, the Advisory Council, the Political Parties and the Church.
We have been very clear that we came to TCI to take note of your views on the draft constitution. We heard the people of Providenciales when they called for a public meeting. And we have now heard and heeded the calls of so many people in the Islands who want to speak directly to the Minister about this important issue.
PDM Leader Doug Parnell in an interview today stated that he was pleased and looks forward to such a meeting.
