	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2019 answer text <p>As a British Overseas Territory, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) has no international legal personality separate from that of the United Kingdom, therefore no &quot;diplomatic relations&quot; exist in the traditional sense of the term. The United Kingdom and the BVI, along with the other Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies form an undivided realm. The roles of the United Kingdom, the Governor and the elected government are set out in the Constitution of the BVI. As with all Overseas Territories, the United Kingdom Government works in partnership with the government of the BVI across a wide range of issues.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 31/07/2019 12:50:09 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
