Minister. On the.

**** Possible New Speaker ****

May, the Diego Garcia Treaty was signed and laid before the House. As the Defence Secretary told this House on the day of signature, the House on the day of signature, the treaty secures the strategically important UK US military base on important UK US military base on the island of Diego Garcia. The Diego Garcia military base is essential to the security of the UK essential to the security of the UK and our key allies, and essential to keeping British people safe. Under the terms of the treaty, the UK will capitalise a £40 million trust fund for the benefit of Chagossians, which will be established by Mauritius on the 12th of December.

The Mauritian government approved introduction of primary legislation to establish the Trust Fund. The Mauritian Bill confirms the principle that the trust fund will be operated for Chagossians by Chagossians. Decisions on the use of funds will be taken by a trust Fund Management board. The board will comprise 12 members, seven of whom will be Chagossians, ensuring a majority representation. The chair of the trust Fund will be a Chagossian selected by the Chagossian members and following extensive representations and engagement by this government, the Mauritian Bill also now confirms that a UK based Chagossian representative will sit on the board alongside representatives living in Mauritius and the Seychelles.

The UK High Commissioner to Mauritius will also attend board meetings. We welcome these commitments by Mauritius, which will ensure the trust fund reflects the full spectrum of perspectives within the community. The treaty enables Mauritius to develop a program of resettlement on islands other than Diego Garcia. This agreement is the only viable path to resettlement on the archipelago. The UK government has been in talks with Mauritius to ensure that this programme is open to all Chagossians, irrespective of their country of residence, the Mauritian government confirmed on 12th December that eligibility to resettle will apply to Chagossians born on the archipelago before the 31st of December 1973, and children of parents, either of whom were born on the archipelago before that date.

As of April 2025, 94% of which were British nationality also had Mauritian citizenship. However, any UK based Chagossian who does not hold Mauritian citizenship and meets these criteria will be eligible for it and therefore able to participate in any future programme of resettlement. All Chagossians will remain eligible for British citizenship. Under the current citizenship pathway, Chagossians will be able to hold both British and Mauritian citizenship. Mauritius has also confirmed that civil status documents issued by the Government of Mauritius will continue to record the place of birth as the Chagos Archipelago for all those born there where for any reason this has not been the case, the Government of Mauritius will review and amend the documents as necessary.

This landmark agreement, Mr Speaker, secures the future of the strategically critical UK US military base. As the Defence Secretary told this House there was no alternative but to act. In so doing we have predicted Britain's at home and overseas.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for granting this urgent question. I think we've just heard from the Minister, basically, that the government's betrayal of the British Chagossian community continues. We've just had more details now on how bad this deal is for the Chagossian community. Labour's surrender of British sovereign territory means that now future decisions on access and resettlement to most of the archipelago, the ancestral home of Chagossians, are now left in the hands. Guess what of a foreign government? So can the Minister confirm if British Chagossians will need to become Mauritian citizens to have any hope of being entitled or eligible for future resettlement and resettlement program? That's a simple yes or no, because it sounds like it is an absolute yes.

This is a country that, until only weeks ago, had an offence on its statute books for. And I quote, Mr. Speaker, for misrepresenting the sovereignty of Mauritius and a country from which hundreds of Chagossians have fled to Britain in recent weeks. And by the way, Mr. Speaker, this is now adding to pressure on local authorities to house this community across the country. So does the Minister recognise the sheer madness of this plan? And, Mr. Speaker, the government has also confirmed that despite Britain giving Mauritius the government of Mauritius £40 million of British taxpayers money for the trust fund, Britain has no proper representation on its board and no control over how these funds are spent.

There will just be one UK based Chagossian representative on the board, chosen not by the British community, but guess what? By the Prime Minister of Mauritius. Can the Minister tell us if he thinks this is acceptable and did the government? I can't say the Minister specifically press for greater Chagossian and British representation on the board. And can he tell us exactly what UK delegations have been doing in Mauritius this year, who they've met and what has been discussed? And on the so-called contact group, why has the government refused to seek the views of the British Chagossian community in this surrender treaty, choosing instead, Mr.

Speaker, to outsource this vital function to a House of Lords select committee whose survey has been open to manipulation and interference from this for the Mauritian government. We've seen that online, so it's no wonder, Mr. Speaker, that the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has called the government out for its betrayal of the community. It's massively embarrassing, particularly when we've got a government of human rights lawyers. What is the minister's response to this UN committee? Will he suspend the ratification of this appalling treaty, which is what the UN calls for, and importantly, say sorry to hard pressed taxpayers in this country who are forking out £35 billion for this shameful atrocity, Minister.

Mr. speaker, in the spirit of Christmas, I will not respond to allegations of betrayal. I suspect that the benches opposite will will want to chunter throughout the discussion. Perhaps they might remind themselves who started these negotiations and on what basis they they no doubt will wish throughout this session to focus on transfer of sovereignty. Perhaps they might remind themselves what their negotiating position was in government. But let me turn, Mr. Speaker, to the questions that are asked.

I'm pleased to inform the House that we have met with the contact group, both on the second and the 8th of December. My ministerial colleague who leads on these issues, has been very keen to ensure that he hears from the full range of views from Chagossians in the UK. Now, I understand as I know the Minister, the colleagues opposite also know that there is a range of views amongst the Chagossian community. They do not speak with one voice. This government is trying to make sure that we listen to all of those views.

The shadow Foreign Secretary asks about the ratification of the treaty, as she knows it will be going for Third Reading in the House of Lords in the New Year. No doubt this will be discussed further then, as it was discussed in this House. This treaty will be scrutinised properly in the normal way, and all of these points will be surfaced. be surfaced.

Minister. >> Mr. speaker, I thank my hon. Friend for his question and ensure Minister. >> Not Al Pinkerton Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

**** Possible New Speaker ****

Democrat spokesperson. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Liberal Democrats. Have been clear and clear from the start. Nothing should be happening to the Chagossian people without the full Democratic input of Chagossians themselves, who in the custom of other overseas territories citizens, we should recognise as a self-governing and self-determining people. Even if the UK has deprived Chagossians of access to their homeland for more than 50 years. Those principles, if they are to mean anything Mr Speaker to our overseas territories family must be both immutable and universal.

Now, in recognising that, I note that I'm now joined by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which last week reported that the proposed agreement on the future of the Chagos Islands should not be ratified on the grounds that it risks perpetrating longstanding violations of the rights of Chagossian people. I am also concerned about the requirement made, I think, explicit in the Minister's statement yesterday that Chagossian people will only be able to partake in the resettlement programme if and only if they accept Mauritian citizenship, even in the circumstances where individuals and families have no historical connection, cultural or civic, to that state, so can the Minister therefore set out whether any negotiations have taken place that would have enabled Chagossians to exercise their right of return, without being required to ascribe or subscribe to Mauritian citizenship? Or are there any discussions of a Hong Kong style arrangement whereby permanent residency of freedom of movement may have been granted outside of citizenship? And finally, how does the Minister reconcile last week's UN report with his stated desire to conform with our international obligations?

make a statement on the government's new approach to Africa, Commissioner.

**** Possible New Speaker ****

Commissioner. Mr. speaker, Africa matters to the United Kingdom and it matters to this government, our missions to this government, our missions and our plan for change. Africa has the greatest growth potential of any continent, providing expanding opportunities for UK businesses to kick start economic growth, strengthening the foundations of UK growth requires engagement with Africa to secure our borders and address the drivers of illegal migration. Africa is home to 30% of the world's mineral resources, including significant deposits, deposits of the growth minerals identified in the new UK Critical Minerals Strategy.

These are essential to securing our supply chains and enabling the UK's mission to become a clean energy superpower. However, we inherited an approach that reflected the past and not the opportunities of Africa's future. That's why we committed in our manifesto to deliver a new approach for mutual long term benefit. We were also clear that reframing our relationship was not something to cook up here in London, and then package as a shared approach. So we launched a five month listening exercise, hearing from governments and over 600 organisations, from civil society and diaspora communities, from businesses and universities about what they valued and wanted to see from Britain.

There was a clear common message African nations want respectful, long term partnerships that deliver real change for people's lives. Responding to the consultation, the UK's new approach provides a high level framing to guide the government's long term engagement with African partners, reaffirming the shift from paternalism to a partnership of respect and equality. It does so over seven areas of shared interest. First, we are moving from donor to investor. We will go further to unlock investment and trade, helping African and British businesses create quality jobs, economic opportunities and prosperity.

Second, we are working together on the challenges of illegal migration. championing African voices in global decision making, including in the global financial system. And finally, we're supporting innovation and cultural partnerships. This adds up to a new kind of partnership, one that works with African leadership, one that is inclusive and respectful and strong enough to work through difficulties and disagreements. Our high commissions and embassies will be at the forefront of embedding this approach in spirit and content, and we will take it forward into the UK's G20 presidency in 2027.

British Ministers will be out there on the continent championing these principles, strengthening coherence across our partnerships and backing diverse African voices to shape our work.

house rather than hidden away in the library. I'm joking. Very much, Mr. Speaker, and I'm grateful to. You for.

**** Possible New Speaker ****

You for. Granting this urgent question. And I declare an interest as chair of the all party Group on Foreign Relations and co-chair on the APPG Relations and co-chair on the APPG on the Commonwealth. The geopolitical challenges we face as a nation are acute and mounting, a nation are acute and mounting, and they have real impacts on people back home in Newcastle-under-Lyme and across our United Kingdom. For too long, our United Kingdom. For too long, our relationship with countries on the African continent has been viewed through the prism of colonial guilt.

It's harmed our ability to engage. It's seen relationships left to suffer, and it has let generations down. We must think about what we can do with nations on the African continent, not to them. The African continent is a big and diverse place and cannot be put in one basket. Each region will have different characteristics and our approach needs to reflect that with respect to understanding and action. The United Kingdom has been found seriously wanting in relation to its former colonies over the last 30 years under successive governments.

This must be a turning point based on respect, on friendship, on equality and our shared histories, bond systems and experiences. I'd like to ask the Minister the following. How will the approach protect the United Kingdom against the geopolitical threats we face from Russia, China and other hostile states and their corrosive impact on nations across the African continent? Many African nations are members of the Commonwealth, are hugely important post-war creation, but totally underutilised. So how will the approach ensure that the Commonwealth gets meaningful support and is properly fit for purpose? I am concerned that one word that wasn't mentioned in the statement was the word Commonwealth.

How much money will be put behind this new approach? What steps will be taken to ensure that new, meaningful trade deals are established between African nations and the United Kingdom? Because fair, balanced and decent trade has a hugely important role to play in this relationship and must be taken seriously, what will be expected of our heads of missions at high commissions and embassies across Africa to advance this approach? And what will our new approach mean for British engagement with the African Union? The bonds, Mr Speaker of history and people behind our United Kingdom and many independent nations on the African continent together? Common languages, common legal systems, common but difficult histories, and a common purpose.

This new approach has the potential to help grow our economy here at home, to neutralise the influence of hostile states, and to move forward together. And if it does that, it will have my full support.

Minister. the question and his dedication and diligence to these issues. I want to reassure him about the importance that this government places in the Commonwealth. It is a vital partnership both in Africa and across the world. It is the C in FCDO and it is very close to our minds and central to our strategy, both in relation to Africa and elsewhere. He asks important points about the role of Russia and China in Africa as he knows well, particularly China has been a long standing presence in many African countries, an important source of trade and finance.

But in my experience, African countries are not naive about Chinese motivations or the potential risks associated with elements of their offer. The Africa strategy that we have announced yesterday is in part a response to that desire from so many African countries for a longer, enduring and sustainable partnership with the UK, both to respond to the interests of others, whether it's China or Russia, but also to build on those historic ties to which he so eloquently referred. I want to pause briefly, Mr.

Speaker, to talk about Russia's role in Africa. They are exploiting conflicts, instability and natural resources right across Africa, in the Sahel, and indeed in North Africa. We are already supporting African partners through strategic security and defence relationships with countries such as Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana, coordinating closely with like minded states and international organisations. The role of Africa Corps in Africa is malign.

Priti Patel Portrait Rt Hon Priti Patel MP (Witham, Conservative)

Shadow Secretary of State Dame Priti Patel. for securing important UQ and if I may say to the Minister, I don't think it's acceptable, regurgitate the written ministerial statement from yesterday. There are some fundamental issues about what should be the government's strategy. First and foremost. Foremost, it was wrong to simply say that the approach that the government inherited was wrong. I should know that having recapitalised CDC and the fact that BII now have a huge amount of annual investment and reinvestment every single year on the economic development in Africa.

But fundamentally, whether it's from Gavi, the Global Fund or the Sustainable Development Goals, these are found in principles that are now being advanced across Africa. And the government really should do much more to stand up and defend them. But Mr. Speaker, with reference to the written ministerial statement yesterday, there was no reference to China Belt and Road debt traps or Russia's nefarious activities or the Wagner Group in Africa. And yet, before our eyes, we see the axis of authoritarian states pillaging African countries for its natural resources.

Where is the substance or a plan of action of influence to counter this growing influence of that axis? There is also scant regard for the government in the government's plan for the Commonwealth, as we've already heard, and its role in upholding democracy, capacity building and freedoms. Why is that the case? And is the government working with the new secretary general on her economic vision, which would clearly benefit the UK and Africa? We do not know how the government intends to support the African Union or rise to the challenges and the continent, and sadly, we're seeing so much conflict right now.

So can the Minister explain what is the UK going to do to leverage our expertise to conflict resolution, to good effort? And finally, on illegal migration? Mr. speaker, can I remind the Minister and the government, which intentionally tore up the engagement with a key Commonwealth partner called Rwanda, that was a country that sought to give leadership on illegal migration to stop young men from leaving the continent at great risk because they wanted to create an economic development partnership with the UK.

That surely speaks to some of the serious challenges that this government now needs to pick up and confront.

Minister. >> My friend is a powerful advocate. I know that the Minister for Africa has been considering these issues, and I'll ensure that she gets a

**** Possible New Speaker ****

and I'll ensure that she gets a meeting to discuss them further. Doctor Al Pinkerton, Liberal Democrat spokesperson. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The government are absolutely right to government are absolutely right to say that the United Kingdom needs a new relationship with Africa, and many in this House hope that that partnership would be sustainable, strategic and built on mutual trust. Africa, after all, has one of the youngest populations in the world. It's got incredible economic potential. And yet this government is cutting aid to Africa by 12% this year alone, with further reductions likely in years to come.

Now, the Liberal Democrats criticised over the last decade the constant churn in government Ministers from the Conservative Party. And we are very disappointed that the Africa Minister has recently again been changed. And that has come as hard news in continental Africa, where the Minister was appreciated and the hard work that had been undertaken was bearing fruit. So warm words are not enough on the overall trajectory that we see from the UK as of arguably diminishing partnership and diminishing influence, cutting overseas development aid from 0.7 to 0.3%, for example, the lowest this country has ever seen.

And at a time when debt costs are rising in continental Africa, and it's important to invest in in the work of the FCDO because trade commissioners, for example, provide the in-country expertise that is needed to develop those new economic relations that the Minister talks about on migration, upstream investment in poverty reduction and conflict prevention is more important than ever, as is support for organisations like the British Council. So Africa is an essential strategic partner in an increasingly contested world.

So can I ask the Minister directly, how can the government seriously claim its strengthening partnerships and influencing and seeking to influence Africa while cutting aid and hollowing out the very tools that make engagement sustainable?

**** Possible New Speaker ****

Right? Well, let the front benches change over. Statement

**** Possible New Speaker ****

Secretary of State Steve Reed. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, for granting the

**** Possible New Speaker ****

statement. Mr. speaker.

**** Possible New Speaker ****

When we each enter this chamber, we carry on one shoulder the duty to represent our constituents and to represent our constituents and on the other, the responsibility to on the other, the responsibility to protect this democracy. The case of the former MEP, Nathan Gill, has revealed the threat our democracy faces today, and I know it has caused deep concern right across the House. On Friday, the 21st of November 2025, Mr. Gill was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison for accepting bribes linked to the Russian state and attempting to advance that state's twisted interests.

This is the longest sentence handed down to a politician in a case like this. In our nation's recent history. While we must commend the work of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service in successfully prosecuting this case, it is right that we now take a step back to look at how we can protect our democracy against such appalling crimes. And, Mr. Speaker, let me be clear about what this crime was. An elected politician took bribes to parrot the lies of a hostile state responsible for the death of Dawn Sturgess, a British citizen on British soil.

He took the side of those responsible for invading a sovereign European state, and he was prosecuted, while Putin's military targeted the civilian men, women and children of Ukraine. At the time, he sat as a member of the European Parliament, supposedly representing the British people, and went on to become a senior leader of a UK political party. Mr. speaker, we must learn the lessons so this can never happen again. Following discussions with ministerial colleagues, I have today ordered an independent review into foreign interference in UK politics.

This will be led by the former permanent secretary, Philip Rycroft, reporting both to me as Secretary of State responsible for elections and to the Minister of State for security, as the chair of the Defending Democracy Taskforce. The facts are clear a British politician took bribes to further the interests of the Russian regime, a regime which forcefully deported vulnerable Ukrainian children and killed a British citizen on British soil using a deadly nerve agent. This conduct is a stain on our democracy.

The independent review will work to remove that stain. The purpose of this review is to provide an in-depth assessment of the current financial rules and safeguards, and make recommendations. I will deposit a full copy of the Terms of Reference in the House of Commons Library. I have asked Philip Rycroft to report back by the end of March, when I will return to this House, to set out his findings and the government's response. It is right that the review is independent of government and independent of any political party.

It is also important, I make clear to the House that investigating crimes and examining broader allegations of wrongdoing remains the responsibility of the Electoral Commission and the police, not this review. Individual members should continue to refer to the current National Protective Security Authority guidance and speak to the parliamentary security authorities if they have any specific concerns. The findings of the independent review will build on both the government's election strategy and counter political interference and espionage action plan, and inform the Elections and Democracy Bill that we will bring forward next year.

We published our strategy for modern and secure elections earlier this year. This will close loopholes that should have been closed long before we entered office. It will strengthen existing rules on donations, which mean only legitimate donors can support legitimate campaigns. And it will clamp down on the free reign shell companies and unincorporated associations currently have to make donations without first undergoing proper checks. However, Mr. Speaker, in the time since that strategy was published, events have shown that we need to consider whether our firewall is enough.

The independent review will look at this, focusing in particular on the effectiveness of our broader political finance laws on current checks and balances within political regulation for identifying and mitigating foreign interference on safeguards against illicit funding streams, including cryptocurrencies, and on the rules governing the Constitution and regulation of parties and the Electoral Commission's enforcement power. It is right that the review looks at these critical issues in depth, and I stand ready to do
