13. CHAGOS ISLANDS:
Letter to the Parliamentary Relations
and Devolution Team, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, from the
Clerk of the Committee, 14 November 2005
The Committee has asked me to request an update
on the Government's policy towards and treatment of the Chagos
Islanders. In particular, the Committee wishes to know whether
the Government has any plans to review its treatment of the Islanders
since they were required to leave the archipelago in 1967, and
whether the Government has any new proposals to deal with the
Islanders' grievances.
I would be grateful to receive this not later
than 6 December.
Steve Priestley
Clerk of the Committee
