Recommendation 31
31
Paragraph: 142
Mandate Government to notify committees when discussing treaty extension with Crown Dependencies or Overseas Territories.
Recommendation
We are encouraged by the evidence we received on the regular and effective discussion and consultation between both the Ministry of Justice and Crown Dependencies and the FCDO and the Overseas Territories with regard to treaties that could be extended to them. We call on the Government to ensure that it notifies the new sifting committee - as well as Justice Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee where appropriate - when it is in discussion with Crown Dependencies or Overseas Territories on the potential extension of treaties to them when negotiating an agreement on their behalf, or when it has provided a letter of entrustment.
