Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 8 December 2022 to Question 106326 on Norfolk Island: Foreign Relations, when his Department last raised Norfolk Island with the Australian Government.
As I [Minister Trevelyan] stated in my answer of 16 December to PQ 106326 Norfolk Island has not been raised in recent discussions with the Australian Government. A search of available files finds no record of Norfolk Island being raised with the Australian Government. It is the longstanding position of HMG that the governance of Norfolk Island is a matter for Australia.
