Professor Andrew Le Sueur, head of law at the University of Essex, told the European Union Committee that the Crown Dependencies could decide they were stronger together on the world stage post-Brexit.
‘The islands may feel that it is advantageous to their interests to work closer together. One could imagine, for example, a confederation of the Channel Islands.
‘We have, perhaps in very embryonic form, already seen some signs of this with the Channel Islands office in Brussels where officials work for two of the Crown Dependencies and the joint data protection commissioner.’
