This information has been passed to The Times by the Quadrumvirate as part of an event.
The government of Anguilla has released a report calling for a customs union and common between it and the island of St Martin, which is split between the Dutch and French. It is one of several British Overseas Territories that have not come up within the Brexit negotiations, and it is one of the few with a border to the EU (in this case by sea, to the Frehcn side of St Martin). The Caribbean island is dependent on the EU for much of its budget every year. It has a population of around 15,000, and is reliant on the island of St Martin for many of its needs, particularly transportation and commerce.
The Island's Chief Minister, Victor Banks, is concerned about the lack of interest in the territory, or the other British Overseas Territories in the Caribbean. "While Anguilla makes much of its money from being a tax haven," the Chief Minister said to the Times, "we are reliant on other nearby islands, particularly St Martin, for things like an international airport and the postal service. The British government should pay more attention to us, and the other Overseas Territories, like they have with Gibraltar." Mr. Banks has been Chief Minister of the island since 2015.
