British Indian Ocean Territory: Negotiations

Debate between Shaun Davies and David Lammy

Monday 7th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Shaun Davies (Telford) (Lab)]

Words that are said in this House bear a huge amount of weight, particularly for citizens in Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. Will the Foreign Secretary clearly set out that nothing in this agreement or in his statement today affects their settled status and their self-determination?

[Mr Lammy]

I am very grateful to my hon. Friend for that question, and of course I agree with him wholeheartedly.
