Her Excellency the Acting Governor Mrs. Rosalie Adams chaired the Meeting held on 26th July, 2019 in the absence of the Governor Augustus Jaspert, who was overseas on annual leave. The Meeting was held at the Premier’s Conference Room, Central Administration Building. 

I want to address a number of factual points on the loan guarantee offered by the United Kingdom Government and what this means for the British Virgin Islands.  

Fellow Virgin Islanders and Residents, Good day and God’s Blessings.

In the very near future, a delegation from the Virgin Islands is expected to meet with officials of Her Majesty’s Treasury and other departments of the UK Government, to discuss what can be described as, one of the most critical issues facing us as residents of this Territory in modern history.

This is a preliminary synopsis of the CXC Examinations results. It must be noted that CXC is presently making final checks and changes may be made before or by the end of the week.

Fellow Virgin Islanders and Residents,

On Monday, August 12, 2019, a suspension spring on the sole fire tender assigned to the Taddy Bay Airport on Virgin Gorda broke, rendering the vehicle inoperable. According to aviation safety regulations, all airports must have at least one working fire tender in order to operate. As such, the BVI Airports Authority (BVIAA) was forced to close the Taddy Bay Airport, pending the rectification of this situation.

A pleasant good morning and God’s Blessings to each and every one of you, and thank you for joining with us as we launch our first phase of the “Back to the Sea” programme.

Statement by Honourable Vincent Wheatley, Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration
uring the Sixth Sitting of the First Session of the Fourth House of Assembly of the Virgin Islands
on Projects

Wednesday 31^st July, 2019

Mister Speaker, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration continues its unwavering efforts to ensure that the young people of this Territory are afforded the opportunity to own a piece of land to build their home. Land ownership engenders a sense of pride and accomplishment and we want to do our best to get the young people of this Territory on the part of wealth creation and building a legacy for future generations.

Good day to all, the time has come again for us to pause from our busy undertakings and join in the 2019 Emancipation celebrations. This is the time of year that we celebrate BVI ancestral freedom from slavery and reflect on their journey, resiliency and triumphs, and also to celebrate our cultural history.

Mister Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity to provide updates to this Honourable House on the progress of my ministerial portfolio on a few areas.
