<p>In December, I [Minister Rutley] laid a Written Statement (HCWS150) that outlined
Overseas Territories' commitments and timelines to implement public registers, either
public registers accessible to all members of the public or public registers with
access predicated on 'legitimate interest'. We are providing technical and financial
assistance to expedite implementation in 2024 of these public registers. Where public
access is predicated on 'legitimate interest' I have clearly stated to OT Governments
the UK's expectation that this will be expansive, including media and civil society,
among others, and an interim step to providing access to all members of the public
in due course.</p>
