Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Written Evidence


Further submission from Ray Carbery, President, Turks and Caicos Islands Olympic Committee

  We note with great interest that your next Foreign Affairs Committee meeting is being held on 28 March and that Ms Meg Munn will be in attendance. Perhaps you will extend the courtesy of asking Ms Munn why she has not replied to the email outlined below which deals with Caribbean Overseas Territorial issues. We have been informed by somebody within her riding that we are not to contact her in the future about these issues ... in a rather rude attitude. Further more the Rt Hon David Miliband's office has informed us that the email reply from her riding ... was ... somewhat not politically correct and that it was being investigated.

  But here is our challenge again ... it seems that the FCO can just arbitrallary not respond to important questions that directly disenfranchises the youth of the TCI. By not answering the question at hand they hide behind there screens and say/do nothing to assist these Islands. When is somebody in high a position going to realize that in today's world ... issues have to be solved not swept under the table and hope we go away!!! maybe years ago that was the norm ... but not today!!!

  Ms Munn in her capacity of being Under Secretary of State to the Commonwealth Foreign Office of which the Caribbean falls under her jurisdiction should make her thoughts known to the TCI people on where she stands and is she going to assists us? Again thank you for your ongoing assistance in our quest for the TCI youth.
