question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made in discussions with the government of Mauritius on an overall resolution to the issues concerning (1) the future of the Chagos Islands, and (2) the resettlement of the Chagos Islanders, since the Prime Minister met the Prime Minister of Mauritius on 20 January.

uin	HL2181
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2020 answer text <p>The Prime Minister had a discussion with Prime Minister Jugnauth, which included the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), when he attended the UK-Africa Investment Summit in London in January. We remain open to dialogue with Mauritius on matters of shared interest, including BIOT and its Marine Protected Area (MPA).</p><p>We have no doubt about our sovereignty over the territory of BIOT, which has been under continuous British sovereignty since 1814. We have made a long-standing commitment to cede sovereignty of the territory to Mauritius when it is no longer required for defence purposes. We stand by that commitment.</p><p>In November 2016, the UK Government announced that resettlement of Chagossians could not be supported on the grounds of feasibility, defence and security interests, and cost to the British taxpayer. There remains no right of abode in BIOT. While resettlement is unrealistic the UK Government is providing a significant package of assistance to Chagossians to help boost their life chances and provide increased opportunities to participate in a rolling programme of heritage visits to the Territory</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 09/03/2020 17:37:31 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>A new Governor was selected before Lieutenant General Edward Davis' contract expired and we are completing the process for confirming that appointment.

tabling member printed	Lord Luce
uin	HL1940
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>The history curriculum gives teachers and schools the freedom and flexibility to use specific examples from history to teach pupils about the history of Britain and the wider world.</p><p>There are opportunities within the themes and eras of the history curriculum for teachers and schools to teach about the history of the Commonwealth at Key Stages 1-3. Schools can teach about the Commonwealth at Key Stage 1, when teaching about events beyond or within living memory that are significant nationally or globally, and at Key Stage 2, within a study of an aspect or theme in British history that extends pupils’ chronological knowledge beyond 1066. There are also opportunities at Key Stage 3, within the ‘ideas, political power, industry and empire: Britain, 1745-1901’ and ‘challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day’ themes. ‘Indian independence and end of Empire’ is one of the example topics in this latter theme. The Commonwealth also falls within the scope of the subject content set out for GCSE history.</p><p>The government shared a Commonwealth Education Pack for teachers in 2018, in support of the UK’s hosting of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that year. The pack is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/department-for-education-launches-commonwealth-education-pack" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/department-for-education-launches-commonwealth-education-pack</a>, and has been attached.</p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 10/03/2020 13:33:52 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge attachment 1 file name HL1940_DfE_Commonwealth_2018_-_Full_Activities_Pack.pdf title HL1940_attachment

tabling member printed	Lord Luce
uin	HL1490
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2020 answer text <p>Over the past two years, the UK - as Chair-in-Office - has worked closely with our Commonwealth partners to drive collective delivery of the commitments agreed at the 2018 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. The work is supported by over £500 million of projects to support the Commonwealth in achieving these goals, which are already delivering benefits for member states. For example, over 3,000 women-owned businesses have now received training from the Commonwealth SheTrades project, supporting inclusive economic growth and prosperity. 31 Member States have committed to take action on marine plastic pollution as part of the Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance. Also, the Pacific Nationally Determined Contribution Hub was officially opened by the Prime Minister of Fiji last week, helping Pacific Island Countries tackle climate change. The Government will publish a detailed update on the UK's period as Chair-in-Office in the coming months.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/02/2020 13:30:09 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
