Premier Wheatley to petition OT Minister to lift Order in Council
The Order in Council was put in place by the UK in 2022 to force the Virgin Islands to implement reforms as recommended in the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) Report.
At a joint press conference on Friday, August 30, 2024, both Governor Daniel Pruce and Premier Wheatley disclosed they will be going to the UK to meet Minister Stephen J. Doughty, the Minister of Overseas Territories, on the week of September 9 and are scheduled to meet the Minister on September 11.
“At that meeting, I will be seeking to get clarity on the review process and timeline and getting the Constitution Suspension Order lifted.
Order ‘a colonial coercive tool’- Premier
“From the very beginning, we asserted that the Order in Council was a colonial coercive tool that had no place in a modern partnership. We have the opportunity with a new UK government and a new direction, to start a new era of partnership based on mutual respect and democratic values on our road to building a sustainable nation.”
Dr Wheatley said he will also be conveying his government’s commitment to ongoing governance reform and the modern partnership the VI wishes to build with the United Kingdon.
The Premier reminded that the UK has an obligation under UN convention to provide support for non-self-governing territories to get on the road to full self-government.
“We are committed to this journey and continue to build our governance strength. We welcome the UK as a partner in this regard,” Premier Wheatley said.

Each and of our political leaders before they can be accepted as our representative must pledge allegiance to UK's Authority, was Queen, now King Charles.
You know the rules of the political game. Why now pretend that you don't?.
However what the UK accepted, we have to abide with.
question: could you tame a scorpion to stop stinging? Can we tame our local politicians from mismanaging our finances.
Don't forget, the stronger rules over the weaker.
Maybe that why we can't get you all to stop misrepresenting our business honest.
Have a safe travel, the Governor and you.
God is Love and Love is God.
&Senior, hush your r@$%. Didn’t Governor Daniel Pruce just say that self-determination is up to the BVI people?? You are casting the situation as a Master-Slave relationship, while the UK is looking at the situation as a family and modern partnership..let’s stop the damn Neville Chamberlain type appeasement; it is sickening.
