When it talks about a threat of a direct attack on the territory of Mauritius by Britain or America, or emanating from Diego Garcia, presumably it could emanate only from Diego Garcia if it was from us, or are they envisaging some circumstances in which somebody else was using Diego Garcia or was able to attack them from there? Either way, it gives them the right to terminate the agreement, but we have no right to terminate the agreement. The noble and gallant Lord earlier pointed out there might well be circumstances where we would want to terminate. If as a result of natural events, rising sea level or geological disruption we could no longer use the base, we might want to terminate it.
