There's great potential for the Crown Dependencies to work together more closely in future.
So says Chief Minister Allan Bell, who held talks with his Jersey and Guernsey counterparts in London on Thursday.

Mr Bell says it's something of a return of the tripartite meetings of old, which had fallen by the wayside somewhat in recent years:
