Henry Smith (Crawley) (Con)
Similar to the Windrush situation is the plight of the Chagos community, who were exiled from the British Indian Ocean Territory under the Wilson Administration. Will my right hon. Friend agree to meet me to look at my British Indian Ocean Territory (Citizenship) Bill, which is currently before the House, with a view to righting this injustice?
Sajid Javid
My hon. Friend is right to raise the issue of the Chagos community, and I will very happily meet him.
