Debate
Diego Garcia and British Indian Ocean TerritoryContribution
The UK Government have great sympathy for the Chagossian community. They feel a deep emotional connection with these islands. We have been clear in our regrets for the manner in which Chagossians were forcibly removed from the islands in the 1960s and 1970s. We are working to resume a programme of heritage visits for members of the community.
