Debate
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory BillContribution
In conclusion, I very much look forward to listening to the Minister’s response to these points. Having engaged with the question of the domestic processes in the UK between signing and possible ratification, will she inform the Committee about the domestic processes of the Republic of Mauritius in this regard? I would appreciate her commenting on that. We hear that there is now some uncertainty on the Mauritian side, which she could perhaps comment on today. Will she also tell the Committee what secondary legislation must be brought forward before ratification? If she is not able to do so today, will she please write to us ahead of Report, setting out the planned secondary legislation and what it will do? I would also value the Minister’s comments on my other amendment, Amendment 20H. I look forward to hearing from her.
