Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 November 2025
Debate
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory BillContribution
I will pick up on the arguments put forward by my noble friend Lord Lilley in support of Amendments 8 and 9, which I strongly support. This Minister, the Defence Minister and other Ministers have said that, yes, these judgments are non-binding, but we might in the future get a binding judgment against us. But she has never clarified that in any detail. Maybe today she could actually tell us what form those judgments could take.
