 | | Almost immediately afterwards, Montserrat’s volcano issued a painful reminder that this was not the case — and, after a few days in the headlines, the fact that this was also British territory crept into the perceptions of media, public and politicians. | | | The British government has a duty to defend the Dependent Territories, to look after your fundamental interests, to ensure that you are democratic and politically stable, and to promote good government and prosperity." | | | In many cases, their efforts will be a lasting legacy to the protection of the Territories’; heritages. |

| | While the British stated that the new Territories were founded on the principle of self-determination, the new millennium would see a tightening up on the Non-Self-Governing Territories, with closer scrutiny and micro-management. | | | The British "White Paper" noted that the new Territories were founded on the principle of self-determination. | | | Statements were also made by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) representative in Barbados, a member of the Guam Landowners Association, and representatives from East Timor, Guam, United States Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands. |

| | Unfortunately it would seem from the recent comments of Baroness Symons, the British minister responsible for the dependent territories, that her response is no different from that of her Conservative predecessors. | | | What is needed now, on the part of British ministers, is creativity and courage to ask difficult questions about the relationship with dependent territories in the next millennium. | | | They point out that they have advanced constitutions, universal suffrage, the ending of grant in aid, and institutions of government run almost exclusively by island or Caribbean citizens. |

| | It would mean the loss of the territory's separate constitutional status and of its separate legislative, executive and judicial powers and systems. | | | Instead the territory would be integrated into the UK's constitutional, political, economic and legal system, and would be subject to UK legislation. | | | The UK's approach was spelt out in a letter of 21 December 2004 from the Minister for the Overseas Territories, Bill Rammell to OT Chief Ministers. |
