Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 February 2025

Debate

Chagos Islands

Contribution

That is an important point. There will be marine protection considerations in the agreement, because the waters around the Chagos Islands are precious and need to be protected. It is difficult when there is also a base there, but the protections that we would need to secure to enable the base to function securely and without interference could also serve the marine environment well.
