Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on British Indian Ocean Territory.


British Indian Ocean Territory

I have two points to make. First, it was very traumatic to watch the film made by the 100 people who went on a visit to the islands. Secondly, does my hon. Friend acknowledge that it is possible to separate the issue of the future sovereignty of the islands from that of the right of return, which is what we are currently pursuing through the courts? It is important that we consider both matters in order, rather than necessarily as part of one package.
