Guernsey will choose its next Lt-Governor

CHIEF MINISTER Lyndon Trott has welcomed the news that Guernsey will be able to choose its next Lt-Governor.

Recruitment for the post began yesterday with advertisements appearing in The Times and Deputy Trott (pictured) was glad the island would have its say.

'I am very pleased, as are all members of the Policy Council, that the three Crown Dependencies are being given this opportunity,' he said.

'I would personally like to add that I hope we are able to recruit a replacement who can equal the superb service that His Excellency Sir Fabian Malbon has given, and continues to give, to the Bailiwick.'

The advertisment will be repeated in the Sunday Times.
