OECS to intervene in Anguilla dispute

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is getting involved in the budget impasse between the Anguillian and British governments.



The UK has refused to approve the national budget passed by the Anguilla parliament because it isn't satisfied with deficit-cutting measures.



After their summit in Grenada this week, OECS leaders said they would send a delegation to Anguilla for consultations.



The OECS has also promised to provide technical assistance to the island in its preparation for budget negotiations with Britain.
