Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2025

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

Turning to the amendments in the name of my noble friend Lord Lansley, he is seeking to prevent an Order in Council under this section from amending, repealing or revoking any legislation unless it has been approved by a resolution of each House. My understanding of my noble friend Lord Lilley’s Amendment 51BA is that he is seeking to achieve a similar outcome. Yet again, I will be interested to hear my noble friend’s arguments and I certainly want to avoid pre-empting them at this stage.
