Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 January 2026
Debate
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory BillContribution
The Commonwealth was born of the past but has a vital role to play in our future. This negotiation was state to state, between the UK and Mauritius, but I completely agree with everything that was said about the new leadership at the Commonwealth, its successful past and the vital work that it has to do.
