Michael Dunkley will not be travelling to Britain for the upcoming Conservative Party Conference, Cabinet Office announced today.

The Premier was scheduled to travel this weekend to the event, to network and meet with UK Cabinet members.

However, those meetings were not confirmed, so Mr Dunkley will instead aim to schedule any meetings during the Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council Meeting, in Britain at the end of October.

The Bermuda London Office’s planned Birmingham networking session for next Monday has now been cancelled and confirmed attendees notified.

Bermudians living, working and studying in Britain are instead encouraged to attend a networking session on October 31, at the London Office, located at 6 Arlington Street, London, SW1A 1RE. They will have an opportunity to have face-to-face dialogue with the Premier.

Environment minister Cole Simons will attend next week’s Conference and plans to hold discussions with UK officials and organisations about Bermuda’s marine environment.
