Lindsay Hoyle MP, speaker of the House of Commons and a good friend of the Falklands, which he has visited, addresses the Girl Guides
A group of Ranger Guides from the Falkland Islands recently visited the Houses of Parliament to meet with the Speaker of the House of Commons, The Rt. Hon Lindsay Hoyle MP.
The Speaker spoke about his affection for the Falklands, a place he visited in 2022, and praised Girlguiding UK’s decision to integrate Girlguiding British Overseas Territories into Girlguiding North West, thanks to a longstanding campaign.
During their visit, the Guides received special gifts from the Speaker and enjoyed a tour of the Houses of Parliament. They were accompanied by representatives from the Falkland Islands Government Office.
Deputy Representative Michael Betts expressed gratitude for the Speaker’s support in ensuring the continuity of girlguiding in the Falklands. Ranger Leader Nikki Murphy also emphasized the importance of building connections through such exchanges.
