House of Lords - Ping Pong Stage - Chagos Islanders Amendment - 04.04.22 - Baroness Lister
Thank you to Baroness Lister for accepting the Chagossian amendment & Baroness Williams for summarising and affirming further discussion on additional help propsed with the potential of using the £40mil Chagossian Support Package fund for resettlement of Chagossians.
Plans of a resettlement plan have been in the works for a few months now, and it is still an undecided plan but we hope this can be pushed forward by MPs, Home Office and FCDO altogether.
I am very honoured once again to be mentioned by Baroness Lister for my involvement in the campaigning in Parliament, alongside David & Trent, (BOTC Campaign), and of course Chagossian Voices & of course we must not forget Alex Finch of Fragomen, and as Baroness Lister mentioned this has been over a decade of work in progress starting with the late Lord Eric Avebury in 2009. The whole team worked diligently with key stakeholders & UK Government in getting this through to where it is today.
Thank you all.
