That is what we did in the 1980s, and it was reconfirmed in January 2024. We have an opportunity, perhaps limited but no less important, to restore some of the rights that have been denied to a community, enshrined in the treaty in 1982, paid for by £4 million in what could well have been a very flawed agreement then, and restated in 2024. I want all noble Lords in our debates going forward in Committee and on Report to ensure that we are not using the rights of a community as a proxy for politics—we are using this to try to restore some of the rights so shamefully taken away 40 years, and two years, ago.
