Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 January 2026

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

I believe many Members to be genuine in their concern about the marine protected area and it is right that they have taken the opportunity to raise this. We are working incredibly closely with Mauritius. It does not have the capability and expertise to do this as it stands, but we will make sure that we work alongside Mauritius so that that important work can be done.
