Anguillians associated with a select

In
July 2006, Mr. Stanley Reid became Anguilla's first local Deputy
Governor.
He replaced British Deputy Governor Mark Capes who was re-appointed to
Bermuda.
“In making decisions as Crown
Counsel/Senior Crown Counsel and as Permanent Secretary, Public
Administration, I was always mindful to ensure that any decisions made
were not for my personal benefit or the benefit of a chosen few persons,
but that such decisions were for the benefit of Anguillians generally. I
see no reason to change this manner of thinking in my new post as Deputy
Governor. I will therefore attend to my duties in a manner which is
intended to reap benefits for Anguillians generally.”
“The success of my tenure as Deputy Governor will be assured if I
receive the support of Ministers of Government, public servants at all
levels and most importantly, the support of the Anguilla populace
generally.”
