Premier Hosts Lunch

Cayman Islands Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin hosted a lunch for Members of the House of Parliament Wednesday in London to discuss matters of importance to the Cayman Islands and our financial services sector.

It was an engaging conversation where Members of Parliament asked various questions on a variety of topics from financial services to public registers and immigration. They also provided their thoughts on ways to engage with UK Members of Parliament.

“It is in the interest of the Cayman Islands to not only maintain good relations with the United Kingdom Government, but to also maintain a dialogue qith UK MPs and continue to tell the good story of Cayman.” said Mr. McLaughlin.

Prior to the luncheon the Premier and Minister Wayne Panton attended Prime Minister’s question time in the House of Commons.

After the lunch, Premier McLaughlin attended 10 Downing Street for a brief visit with UK Prime Minister Theresa May.

Earlier in the day Minister Panton met with UK Security Minister Ben Wallace in regards to amendments to the Criminal Finance Bill, which is due to be debated in Parliament.
