Anneliese Dodds

Labour (Co-op) — Oxford East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 February 2025

Debate

British Indian Ocean Territory

Contribution

I know that the right hon. Gentleman understands full well that this is because of the legal uncertainty that is created by the current situation. That has been recognised time and again. It was the reason his Government engaged in 11 rounds of negotiations, and it is why there is this problem. I am surprised that Conservative Members are so unconcerned about the contestation that we see in that part of the world, and the need for our country’s interests to be put first.
