DEPENDENT TERRITORIES AND THE UPI
1
Please refer to your minute of 23 February.
I have checked with WIAD, SAmD and SED and we can expect
that the following territories will reamin by 1984:
2.
3.
Bermuda
British Virgin Island
Cayman Islands
Falkland Islands
Gibraltar
Hong Kong
Montserrat
St Helena
Turks and Caicos Islands.
Since October 1979, Belize is the only territory to become independent (on 21 September 1981).
4.
Our view is that the Dependent Territories should continue to present group membership but the 5 unit contribution is probably too high. It could perhaps be reduced to 3 units but it is difficu to say whether this could be done without prejudicing collective membership.
