Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2025

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

I am really sorry, but we have an agreement with Spain. The matter is settled. Madrid takes the same view that London takes; it is the same view that the Government of Gibraltar take. It is settled, and it is beyond unhelpful for noble Lords—unintentionally, I realise, as this is a relatively recent development—to suggest in any way that that is not the case.
