The delegation visited the States chamber, rekindling relationships with new politicians who visited Westminster with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in November last year.
With the CPA UK having a focus on ending violence against women and girls, the visiting delegation also toured the Sexual Assault Referral Centre at Willow House to learn about victim-focused support services.
The APPG also met Policy & Resources president Lindsay de Sausmarez and other senior politicians to discuss policy priorities and gain insight into how the island engages internationally as a self-governing jurisdiction.
‘We took the opportunity to detail the island’s contribution to the UK, strengthen mutual understanding, and highlight the significance of our long-standing constitutional relationship, but we also enjoyed wide-ranging conversations that touched on current priorities, shared challenges and some of our aspirations for the Bailiwick as we look to the future,’ said Deputy de Sausmarez.
‘It was a particular pleasure to welcome Baroness Pitkeathley back to the island of her birth.
‘She and her son, who is also a member of the House of Lords in his own right, and a fellow member of the Channel Islands APPG, were delighted to reconnect with their family heritage while they were in the island.’
The APPG delegation also went on to visit Sark and Jersey.
Alderney representatives held discussions with the APPG while they were in Guernsey.
