Sir Menzies Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on
(a) dredging and (b) the expansion of naval facilities at Diego Garcia since 1980. [184966]
Mr. Straw: The US Naval Support Facility on Diego Garcia, which had been established pursuant to an agreement between the two
Governments of February 1976 as a development of the previous US naval communications facility there. Following an Exchange of Notes
between the Governments of the UK and the US in August and September 2001 the US Naval Support Facility was designated as a Bomber
Forward Operating Location and various infrastructure upgrades to the facility were agreed. The 2001 Exchange of Notes recorded the
understanding of the two Governments that this was consistent with the scope and purpose of the facility as provided for in the 1976
agreement. Further infrastructure upgrades were similarly approved by the two Governments in July 2002. In addition, an Exchange of
Notes between the two Governments in June and July 1999 recorded their agreement to the construction and operation on Diego Garcia
of a monitoring facility, primarily for inclusion in the International Monitoring System, established under the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty of 1996.
As regards dredging, it will be necessary to obtain this information from the authorities on Diego Garcia. When it has been
received, I will write to the right hon. Gentleman and place copies in the Library of the House.
