Proceeding contribution from Lord Coaker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 April 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill.
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
This is a treaty between the UK and Mauritius with respect to the future of the BIOT, without the involvement of the Maldivian Government. If that is wrong, I will write to the noble and gallant Lord and put it on the record, but that is my understanding.
