Context
The UK's Ministry of Defence has been providing various forms of support to the Overseas Territories during the pandemic, including medical assistance in the Falkland Islands.
Question
What steps are the Minister's Department and his colleagues elsewhere in Government taking to enable our overseas territories to become more self-sufficient?
Answer from James Heappey (Assistant Secretary of State for Defence Procurement)
My hon. Friend asks an excellent question. Her Majesty's Government aim to build resilient overseas territories with good governance, diversified economies and prosperous communities that are all able to deal with and recover better from crises. For example, the Ministry of Defence is delivering maritime-security capacity building in the Caribbean and supporting the Cayman Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands to establish new reserve defence regiments.
