The delegation had the opportunity to discuss the issues and challenges facing the island and the role that legislators play in island life.
Sark CPA members received a briefing on the work of the CPA small branches network which represents parliaments in the smallest jurisdictions.
‘It was a pleasure to welcome the CPA delegation from the UK and Guernsey,’ said Paul Armorgie, speaker of Chief Pleas.
‘Sark is proud to take up its place as a member of the CPA and to promote its values, working in partnership with our Crown Dependency friends and neighbours.’
The CPA delegation included CPA Secretary-General Stephen Twigg; Deputy Adrian Gabriel, vice-chairman of the CPA Small Branches network; Sarah Dickson, the regional secretary for the CPA British Islands and Mediterranean Region, and Simon Ross, Greffier of the Guernsey and CPA Guernsey branch secretary.
‘I was delighted to travel to the island of Sark with a CPA delegation to meet with members of the Chief Pleas and to hear about their roles on the island as well as the challenges they face as a small jurisdiction,’ said Mr Twigg, a former Labour MP who served as shadow education secretary and famously defeated Michael Portillo in the 1997 General Election.
‘We look forward to a constructive and collegial relationship with the legislature in the future.’
