answer text <p>The UK has a longstanding and deep relationship with all of its Overseas Territories based on partnership and shared values as reaffirmed at the Joint Ministerial Council in May and reflected in the Communiqué [2023 UK and Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council communiqué - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)]. No Territory has formally raised the idea of formal representation in this House and we do not plan on making assessment on UK parliamentary representation for Overseas Territories. The UK Government believes that the fundamental structure of our constitutional relationships with the Overseas Territories is the right one. Powers are devolved to the elected governments of the Territories to the maximum extent possible, consistent with the UK retaining those powers necessary to discharge its sovereign responsibilities.</p> more like this
