Debate
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory BillContribution
That statement was made by Labour. It was not made by the Tories, the Cross-Benchers or anybody else in this House. It was the Labour Party that chose to make self-determination for the British Overseas Territories an issue for its term in office, not me, and nor have I heard anyone else say that. It is the standard in relation to all the British Overseas Territories to which the Government have chosen to hold themselves.
