Both leaders will make clear the Territory’s position on the May 1, 2018 vote relating to public registers of beneficial ownership in the Overseas Territories (OTs).
In a social media post, Opposition Leader Hon Fahie said that last week he was invited by Premier Smith to a meeting to discuss the ongoing efforts by his Government on the UK decision on public register.
One people- Hon Fahie
The Chairman of the Opposition Virgin Islands Party (VIP) noted that “the matter transcends politics and political parties and it’s a BVI matter and larger than any individual, I put aside all political differences on the home front and engage in possible solutions…”
Dr Smith’s government announced via a Government Information Service (GIS) press release, last evening Saturday May 12, 2018 that he and Hon Fahie “will be away from the Territory from Monday, May 14, 2018 to Saturday, May 19, 2018.” Acting Permanent Secretary in the Premier's Office, Ms Dawn J. Smith, will be part of the delegation, government stated.
In Premier Smith’s absence, Deputy Premier and Minister for Natural Resources and Labour, Dr The Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering (R7) will act as Premier.
