 | Policy Approved on Landholding |
The Governor in Council has approved a policy on landholding by immigrants. This policy is linked to the recently approved Immigration Control Ordinance 2008.
Attorney General, Ken Baddon said that the landholding policy had been issued as a guide for prospective visitors, settlers or investors who might be interested in purchasing and owning land on St Helena.
The policy notes that land on St Helena is scarce. Therefore, land can only be sold to investors if they get a licence from the Governor in Council.

 | TRYING THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT |
There is an expression about “trying the patience of a saint” and I am aware that the patience of all of us is being particularly tested at this time. I am also aware that I have a very clear responsibility to you, as your Governor, to keep you informed and to try to explain, as best I can exactly what is going on.
1. The background
This whole airport business has been protracted to say the least. Most of you will remember the history far better than I can tell you. The “three-legged stool”, the reasons why that might not have been a good idea, the appointment of consultants, the apparent commitment of the British Government to the construction of an airport, the withdrawal of potential bidders, the good news of two compliant bids, the selection of a favoured bidder and now the “pause”. The whole process has been dogged by delay and fresh questions being raised by those who, as Ministers of HMG, have every right to raise them. Yet it must be clear to anyone viewing the whole process from outside that the driving enthusiasm for the project that has been obvious from many of those involved has not always been shared by those who would make the ultimate decision.
