The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has received representations from the British Chagossian community on the British Indian Ocean Territory.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Foreign Secretary has not received representations from either the British or Mauritian Chagossian community on the subject of the British Indian Ocean Territory/Chagos Archipelago. We recognise the future of the islands is an important issue for many Chagossians. FCDO officials regularly engage with different Chagossian groups on a range of issues and will continue to do so.
