The Commissioner's role is to administer the territory on behalf of the British government. This involves the passing of any necessary legislation for the territory, usually Orders In Council or Statutory Instruments . The Commissioner is also responsible for liaising with the Military Of The United States in matters concerning the territory. An Administrator Of The British Indian Ocean Territory acts as the Commissioner's assistant. The Commissioner also appoints a representative on the territory, who is the senior British military officer at Diego Garcia. The current Commissioner is Tony Crombie . Unlike the other governors and commissioners of the British overseas territory, there is no separate flag for the Commissioner of the British Indian Ocean Territory. This is mainly because he is never resident in the territory, and he would be unable to fly any flag from his offices in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. |
