ST KITTS-NEVIS-ANGUILLA
27.1
While the rest of this territory is likely to become.
independent in 1979, Anguilla will probably be separated as a
dependent territory.
We might need to consult US about NSS because
of the possible lease of nearby Dog Island as a naval range.
(para 15.2 above) 27.2
Monitoring capability as for BIOT Logistically this could
be a difficult site. The island is 35 square miles in area and
access for large aircraft or ships may be almost impossible.
Communication channels would need to be established.
ST HELENA
28.1 No independence in the foreseeable future. No political
objections to NSS.
(para 15-2 above)
28.2 Monitoring capability as for BIOT Logistically a
difficult location;
everything required for an NSS would need to
be brought in by ship. Communications are uncertain.
TRISTAN DA CUNHA
29.
A dependency of St Helena, subject to similar considerations.
Communication links would need to be established.
