Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 January 2026
Debate
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory BillContribution
We talked about self-determination of the Chagossians and the noble Lord, Lord Weir, has just talked about what I was going to mention: the hypocrisy, almost, of His Majesty’s Government in the fact that they are determined to keep Greenland and Denmark together and allow Greenland to have self-determination. They could not possibly do anything else, because Greenlanders have to have self-determination—and I agree with that. Yet, we have totally denied that to the Chagossian people, and not just in the past year since the Bill came.
