Our British family of nations is not confined to simply the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It includes the people of Gibraltar, the Falklands, Bermuda, Montserrat, and the other territories scattered across the globe. The UK Overseas Territories are not distant lands inhabited by strangers – they are a core part of our shared identity and country, and the people that live in them are as British as those in Belfast, Edinburgh, Cardiff and London.
