The United Kingdom has agreed for Mauritius to have sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago. I think this is strategically dangerous, and should be reviewed.

Government response

We achieved our primary objective in negotiations with Mauritius: to protect the future of the UK-US military base on Diego Garcia. The treaty will be put before Parliament for scrutiny and debate.
