9: Overseas Territories
Ensuring the security and good governance of the UK’s Overseas Territories Other Information:
The security and good governance of the Overseas Territories is the responsibility of Government as a whole. The Government
set out its policy on the Overseas Territories in a 1999 White Paper – Partnership for Progress and Prosperity (available
through www.fco.gov.uk). As well as meeting our international legal obligations, the UK’s aim will be to work with the Territories
to improve quality of life and encourage sustainable development. We expect the Territories to observe high standards of probity,
law and order and good government, and to observe international commitments to which they are bound through their relationship
with the UK.
