Premier Alex Scott is to meet the British Government next month in London as part of scheduled meeting of overseas territories leader.

A Government spokeswoman said the meeting had been on the Premier's schedule for a long-time, and the 14 head ministers of the territories will discuss developments made since the Partnership for Progress and Prosperity document was published by London in 1999.

Mr. Scott has recently expressed his alarm about comments from Governor Sir John Vereker and Deputy-Governor Nick Carter about British responsibility reaching further into Bermuda's internal affairs.

The Premier said after a meeting in October with Minister for Overseas Territories Bill Rammell that he had been assured the British had no concerns about the way Bermuda governs itself.
