Debate
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory BillContribution
This is clearly set out in Annex 1(1)(b)(v) and (ix) respectively. Paragraph (3)(f) concerns the placement of maritime installations in the buffer zone. This will serve as a protective ring around Diego Garcia, where the UK has the ability to prevent activities that could jeopardise base operations. I hope that goes some way towards reassuring the noble Lord.
