Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 November 2025

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

It is not just the Chagossians but many ecologists and environmentalists who will have concerns about these protections. The Minister should answer those concerns before we proceed to Report.
