Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 January 2026

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

In general, my point applies, I hope, to a whole lot of amendments for which I would have much more sympathy—such as the amendment in the name of the noble and gallant Lord, Lord Craig. He makes a valid point, but his amendment says that that point would have to be explored with the Mauritius Government before the treaty could be ratified. Therefore, I am afraid, I cannot support it.
