To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they had between Ministers and officials, and Chagossian groups and representatives, between 5 July and 3 October; and what was the outcome of any such discussions.

The Minister for Europe, North America and the Overseas Territories met with members of the Chagossian community twice between 5 July and 3 October 2024. Officials also routinely speak to Chagossians. Discussions covered a range of issues. There are a large number of Chagossian groups with a wide spectrums of views in the UK and internationally.
