Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has met with the Government representative of Turks and Caicos to discuss (a) the fatal mass shooting in Turks and Caicos in late July and (b) further domestic security.

I remain in close contact with the Premier and the Governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands following the abhorrent shooting in July. Together, we are continuing to invest in improving policing and border security to address complex national security threats and protect the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands. I spoke to the Premier and Governor on 22 September to discuss these issues. The UK has provided over £9 million in security support over the past two years, including coastal surveillance systems, police boats, contracted firearms officers and criminal investigators.
