<p>As the Minister for Overseas Territories, I [Minister Rutley] regularly meet Ministers
across Government on priority areas of work progressed by their departments, and on
issues requiring cross departmental collaboration. This includes recent meetings with
Ministers from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, HM Treasury, Ministry
of Justice, Home Office and Ministry of Defence.</p><p>Each UK Government Department
has nominated a Minister with responsibility for the OTs, in support of the long-standing
position that each Department should engage and support the OTs in their areas of
responsibility. These Ministers meet quarterly as a Ministerial Group chaired by myself,
as the FCDO Minister for the Overseas Territories.</p>
