A British Parliamentarian is on a mission to generate new business, cultural and educational links between Barbados and the UK, even as Barbados breaks ties with the monarchy to become a Republic.
Lord Simon Woolley is a member of the House of Lords, but has Barbadian roots, and he’s confident the move is a good one for the country.
He says it’s a sign that Barbados is on the international stage and he wants to be part of developing the next chapter.
In relation to education, Lord Woolley is working to provide opportunities for Barbadian students to study at Cambridge.
Lord Woolley will be featured on this evening’s edition of ‘The Diaspora Speaks, Barbados the Republic’, during TV8’s NewsNight.
