Following consideration of this issue in the last Parliament, officials from the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office, Department for International Development and the Ministry
of Defence are working jointly to clarify the areas requiring further analysis announced
in my Written Ministerial Statement of 24 March 2015 (HCWS461). To aid this further
analysis, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has also sought information from the
Home Office, Department for Work and Pensions and the US Government on relevant issues
and on essential practical requirements associated with options to resettle a Chagossian
population as well as continuing discussions with other interested parties including
Parliamentarians and Chagossian representatives. This work is ongoing, and we will
explain our conclusions to interested parties in due course.
