Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 January 2026

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

I am a proud Ulsterman; I do not think anyone can doubt that. I know what it feels like to have your identity trampled on, to have your culture vandalised, your voice ignored and your citizenship invalidated. It is because of my own experience that I refuse to stand by and watch it happen to yet another group of proud British citizens in the Chagos Islands.
