Business of the Day
1. Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill: Second Reading
Until 7.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))
Notes:
King’s Consent to be signified on Third Reading.
Relevant Documents:
Oral evidence taken before the Foreign Affairs Committee on 23 June, on The Chagos Agreement, HC 1097
Correspondence from the Foreign Affairs Committee to the Minister of State for Europe, North America and UK Overseas Territories, on environmental protections and The Chagos Agreement, reported to the House on 8 September
Correspondence from the Minister of State for Europe, North America and UK Overseas Territories to the Foreign Affairs Committee, on the oral evidence session on The Chagos Agreement of 23 June 2025, reported to the House on 15 July

That this House, while recognising the importance of international law and believing that it is in the UK’s interest to negotiate with Mauritius following the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice and cases before other international courts regarding the British Indian Ocean Territory, declines to give a Second Reading to the Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill because the Bill would give effect to a Treaty, negotiations for which were initiated by the previous Government, that has lacked sufficient consultation with the Chagossian people; does not provide adequate protection of their rights including the right of self-determination; fails to establish a right to return or a programme of resettlement of the islands for Chagossians; provides neither clarity nor security regarding the extension of the Diego Garcia military base lease beyond its initial 99-year term; does not afford adequate protection to the unique marine environment around the Chagos archipelago; and fails to put in place the necessary oversight and accountability mechanisms to ensure transparency and the effective allocation of funds relating to the substantial annual payments to Mauritius and the Chagossian Trust Fund.

That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill because it implacably opposes the United Kingdom ceding sovereignty over the British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius, and is therefore opposed to the terms of the Treaty to which the Bill gives effect, in particular Article 11 of the Treaty which will mean the United Kingdom paying £34.7 billion to Mauritius, leading to tax rises in the United Kingdom to provide tax cuts in Mauritius; because the Treaty does not secure the base on Diego Garcia, in particular because it does not embody the “right to extend” the 99-year lease to which the then Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs referred in this House on 7 October 2024; because the measures in the Treaty leave the base vulnerable, and therefore represent a threat to the strategic interests of the United Kingdom; and because the Treaty does not properly protect the rights of the Chagossian people, or the future of the Marine Protected Area.
Nigel Farage
Richard Tice
Lee Anderson
Sarah Pochin
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill because it gives effect to a Treaty which cedes control of a strategically important air base, used by allies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which helps to protect the United Kingdom’s national security interests; because the majority of the Chagossian people, who were forcefully removed from the islands in the 1960s, have not been formally consulted on this deal of which most of them disapprove; because it comes at a great cost of tens of billions of pounds to the UK taxpayer at a time when people are feeling the pressure of the cost of living crisis; because the reason for the UK-Mauritius Treaty and for bringing forward this Bill follows a judgment from the International Criminal Court, from which the UK does not recognise judgments as binding, only advisory; and because Mauritius has strong links to China.
