Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2025

Debate

Chagos Islands

Contribution

As I know the noble Lord understands, this is an agreement between the UK Government and the Government of Mauritius, but practically, given that the base on Diego Garcia is a joint base between the UK and the US, we think, and the Mauritian Government agree, that it is right that a new Administration in the United States have the opportunity to look at this and give their view. We are very happy for that to happen.
