Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 November 2024

Debate

Chagos Islands

Contribution

We consider this issue closely. I draw noble Lords’ attention to the fact that Mauritius is a close ally of ours and of India, and it does not take part in the Chinese belt and road initiative. It is our view that the stable, secure and long-term arrangement we now have protects the Chagos Islands from any interest from any other parties that we would not wish to see.
