Mrs. Kim Cutler, a long-time resident in Anguilla, has joined the Foreign Office Staff in the Governor’s Office.
She is a Canadian national who has been residing here for eleven years and is married to an Anguillian, both of whom have children.
“We are reducing the number of London-based staff from three to two when Peter Roberts goes,” Governor Alistair Harrison told reporters at his press conference on Tuesday. “He is leaving at the end of the hurricane season, and so we are making some appointments to the Foreign Office component within the Governor’s Office.”
Mr. Harrison explained that unlike Deputy Governor, Stanley Reid, “who works for the Government of Anguilla and is paid for by the Anguillian taxpayer, Kim works for the Foreign Office and is paid for by the British taxpayer.”
He said they were all working together, and that Kim Cutler was part of the delegation which travelled to St. Martin late last week for talks on the French visa issue.
Mr. Roberts has been in serving in Anguilla as Staff Officer to the Governor for three-and-a-half years. He will be leaving the island at the end of September to return to the United Kingdom.
