BVI All-Party Group re-established to represent VI in UK parliament
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley has said a BVI All-Party Group has been officially established in the United Kingdom (UK) and is ready to work to represent the territory in UK parliament.
In giving an update on international affairs in the House of Assembly earlier today, the Premier noted that the All-Party Group, made up of UK politicians in the House of Lords and House of Commons, is now functioning after years of it not being in commission.
“I am pleased to report that in the UK, after much hard work and effort by our international team — and in particular the BVI London Office — the BVI All-Party group was officially re-established last month. The group is made up of parliamentarians within the UK Parliament and will be a voice for the BVI within the House of Commons and House of Lords,” the Premier said.
“The chair is Mr James Sunderland, MP. The Government of National Unity will continue to engage internationally and continue to work in the best interest of the people of the Virgin Islands,” he added.
The last All-Party group was established to foster the relationships between the British parliament and the British Virgin Islands. The previous group was chaired by a member of the Conservative Party, Lord Henry Bellingham.

Still trying to cover for the guilty.
Is this another shot called by the premier’s brother?
that the All Party Group has been re-established in the UK Parliament. Accordingly all the political parties in the BVI will finance this Group and NOT the BVI Treasury.
Also insure that MP Geoffrey Cox QC is invited to join this Group since he has lots of experience in the BVI from the CoI. Additionally he’s already been paid from the $8 Million dollar legal fee the BVI Ministers paid to the law firm Withers for defending them in the CoI. He was soundly defeated by the CoI but perhaps he can redeem himself in this new Group.
STRANGELY , THE 3RD DISTRICT OWNER WAS ASKING ALL KIND OF QUESTIONS WHEN HE GOT BACK HIS POSITION ON WHO PAYING THIS BILL AND THAT BILL , BUT HE CONVENIENTLY LEFT WIL-ORK AND COX QC BILL AND WHY , ?????
Jealousy gonna kill you
