The Chief Minister, Senator John Le Fondré, has met with UK politicians in London to outline Jersey’s priorities in relation to Brexit and to support the island’s ongoing relationship with the UK.
The Chief Minister attended his second meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Channel Islands, which brings together MPs and Lords who take an interest in the islands and related policy issues.
Discussions surrounded the Channel Islands’ preparations for a no-deal Brexit in tandem with UK government, and gave Jersey representatives the opportunity to update members on domestic developments since the last meeting in October.
Senator Le Fondré commented: “It is vitally important that the Channel Islands continue to engage with UK politicians to make sure our voices are being heard and that we can meaningfully contribute to policy decisions taken in Westminster. In particular, those in relation to Brexit that will affect our islands.
“The All-Party Parliamentary Group brings together supporters of the Channel Islands, but also those Parliamentarians who can assist us with any issues that may arise. The Minister for External Relations and I will continue to meet with colleagues in Westminster to ensure that this positive dialogue continues.”
