British Indian Ocean Territory: Negotiations

Debate between Wendy Morton and David Lammy

Monday 7th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Wendy Morton (Aldridge-Brownhills) (Con)]

We saw a previous Labour Government sell off this country’s gold. We now have a Labour Government who are surrendering our sovereignty and giving away our territory. Has the Foreign Secretary had any specific discussions with the Chagossian people as part of the negotiations?

[Mr Lammy]

I will not take lectures from a party that left a £22 billion black hole and our public services in a state. The chutzpah of the Opposition is unbelievable.
