To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has received assurances from the Government of Mauritius on ensuring uninterrupted access for UK and allied forces to the facilities on Diego Garcia following the entry into force of the UK/Mauritius: Agreement concerning the Chagos Archipelago including Diego Garcia.
The UK-Mauritius Agreement, which, beyond assurances, represents legally binding obligations, robustly protects the national security of the UK and our allies, and ensures that the UK will continue to exercise all rights and authorities which are required for the long-term, secure and effective operation of the military base on Diego Garcia. Article 3(2) of the Agreement confirms that Mauritius is obliged not to undermine, prejudice or otherwise interfere with the operation of the military base on Diego Garcia, including unrestricted access for UK and US forces. This ensures that military operations will not be compromised in any way.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the UK/Mauritius: Agreement concerning the Chagos Archipelago including Diego Garcia on the UK's permanent joint operating posture in the wider Indo-Pacific region.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the UK/Mauritius: Agreement concerning the Chagos Archipelago including Diego Garcia on the UK's permanent joint operating posture in the wider Indo-Pacific region.
The military base on Diego Garcia will continue to support the UK's joint operating posture in the Indo-Pacific and will retain its strategic utility for allied power projection across the Indian Ocean and Pacific region. The UK-Mauritius Agreement ensures that we retain full operational control of Diego Garcia, including security provisions which will protect the base for decades to come.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with his counterpart in the United States on maintaining United Kingdom visibility and oversight of United States operations at Diego Garcia following the transition of sovereignty to Mauritius.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with his counterpart in the United States on maintaining United Kingdom visibility and oversight of United States operations at Diego Garcia following the transition of sovereignty to Mauritius.
The Secretary of State for Defence speaks regularly with US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on a wide range of issues, including most recently on 10 December. We welcome US support of the UK-Mauritius Agreement, and this Government will continue to work closely with the US to ensure the base's operational effectiveness and that it remains a vital part of our security alliance well into the next century.
That this House believes the Mauritius Treaty should not pass because completing the decolonisation of Mauritius cannot be achieved without reference to the people of the Chagos islands (See: UN 742 VII, 1953) who have not been afforded a voice in the treaty negotiations; observes that the Mauritian government cannot speak on their behalf because most Chogossians do not live in Mauritius where there is, in any event, evidence to suggest that they have experienced discrimination; acknowledges that the inclusion of the Chagos islands in the same colony as Mauritius was arbitrary given that their peoples relate to different ethnicities and religions separated by 1,339 miles, such that had the colony been decolonised as a whole and then allowed to express self-determination, the formation of two separate countries would have been unsurprising; strongly believes that as the Chagossian people all live in UN Member states, exploiting their absence from their islands to validate the transfer of those islands to Mauritius without consulting them, simply compounds the injustice of their forcible removal, replacing one form of colonialism with another; also strongly objects to the extortionate costs of the treaty, and its deeply troubling geo-strategic implications given the close relationship between China and Mauritius, the first African country to enter into a free trade agreement with China, and its entering into an agreement with Russia the same week the treaty was announced to boost cooperation in fishing and marine research.
