Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 December 2025

Debate

UK Citizens in Venezuela

Contribution

We have been very clear in our support for Guyana on this issue, and these sorts of disputes must be resolved through the legal and diplomatic means which are available. Occasionally, the Essequibo issue is raised in Venezuelan politics, and noble Lords can form their own judgments about why this might happen at any particular time. From the UK’s point of view, we are absolutely clear about where the border needs to be, and that has not changed.
