Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether the Government has made an assessment of the effect on Anguilla of the UK leaving the EU; and if he will make a statement.

The UK Government is working closely with Anguilla, and the other Overseas Territories, to enable them to understand the implications of the UK leaving the EU, through the creation of the UK – Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council on European Negotiations. This forum is co-chaired by DExEU and FCO ministers and convened on three occasions in 2017. In addition, the Prime Minister also met with the leaders of the Overseas Territories last November.

Going forward, we have been clear that we want to negotiate a new relationship with the EU that works for the whole of the extended British family and have committed to continue working closely with the Overseas Territories as the negotiations progress.
