Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

As an independent organisation, it is for Girlguiding to set its own organisational direction. However DCMS continues to work closely with the FCDO, MOD, Girlguiding and representatives of the Overseas Territories to explore options which support a sustainable local solution being found. In a recent Westminster Hall debate on the Future of Girlguiding UK in the British Overseas Territories, we outlined our commitment to protecting vital youth services for British young people.
