House of Commons - Consideration of Amendments - Accept terms of Chagos Islanders Amendment 22.03.22

The UK Government has rejected the House of Lords Chagos Islanders Amendment based on technicalities in the Amendment.
The UK Government has put forward it's own version of the Chagos Islanders Amendment, which is agreeable to the terms and demands of the Chagossian community. This Amendment will grand all Chagos descendants who can proove they are descended from a person born on Chagos Islands British Overseas Territory Citizenship and an entitlement to British Citizenship. This is a huge win for the Chagossian community.
The Bill is not yet law, so we have to wait until further details are provided by the Home Office on what the application process will be and what the commencement date for the applications will be.
