Lord Purvis of Tweed (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 February 2025

Debate

Chagos Islands

Contribution

This is a question to the Minister, not to the Opposition Front Bench. Secondly, can the Minister confirm that, to avoid the Chagossians becoming a political football again, if any agreement is reached as a result of the pause, either with the United States or the Mauritian Government, it will be for Parliament to vote on it, to ensure that the Chagossians can have representation in the debates here in Parliament?
