KEY policy issues facing Guernsey are on the table today at a meeting between Chief Minister Lyndon Trott and Michael Wills (pictured), the Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice.

Freedom of information and the island’s legislative process will be just two of the issues that Deputy Trott has said he will look to tackle in his 45 minutes face-to-face with Mr Wills at Selborne House in London.

‘One of the issues I’m going to talk to him about is freedom-of-information principles because from the UK’s perspective, Michael Wills has been a key champion and supporter of the act,’ said Deputy Trott. ‘We will also talk about the legislative process and how we can improve the submission of legislation from our end.

‘I’m going to invite him to visit Guernsey in the autumn for further discussions on tax information exchange agreements and other matters.’

The London visit is the first of nine trips the chief minister has in his diary for the rest of the year.
