Lord Callanan (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 November 2025

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

On the point about the marine protected area, I think the Minister said that Mauritius had duplicated the zone absolutely. Is it not the case that it is not a no-catch zone? Point B in the communiqué issued confirmed that fishing will still be permitted in over 600,000 square kilometres of the zone.
