Her Majesty's Government (HMG) fully supports the economic development of the Pitcairn
Islands. The Government of Pitcairn has recently worked up a new Strategic Development
Plan and immigration policy, which HMG is currently considering. In 2013, the Government
of Pitcairn and HMG commissioned two independent expert reports into attitudes to
resettlement amongst the Pitcairn diaspora community, and on the broader economic
potential of the islands. Both reports recognised that there are substantial obstacles
to immigration to Pitcairn, including its relative isolation, the limited economic
opportunities and the legacy of child safety issues. We will continue to work in partnership
with the Government of Pitcairn to support the community in Pitcairn as we consider
longer-term options for the island.
