Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the proposed treaty with Mauritius on the future sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory contains guarantees to support British Chagossians in visiting the Chagos archipelago.

As we have previously said, we will work with Mauritius to start a new programme of visits for Chagossians to the Chagos Archipelago, including Diego Garcia.
