Baroness Hoey (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 January 2026

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

My Lords, the Minister in the other place called the House of Lords irresponsible, not just the Opposition. I find that very offensive. Many of us have spent a long time trying to get this issue debated properly. I have a simple and straightforward question and I hope I will get a straight answer. Can the 1966 treaty be rewritten unilaterally?
