Meetings with United Kingdom UK investors will be high on Prime Minister David Thompson’s agenda when he visits that country later this month.

The Prime Minister made this disclosure today at a farewell courtesy call with British High Commissioner Duncan Taylor.

Mr. Thompson explained that the aim of those meetings would be “to go armed with information on each of the projects which have been identified by British investors for which concessions may have been given … and to sit down with them and see how we can get those plans back on course”.
