Diego Garcia Bill: Committee Review Rescheduled for November 18

The Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill was abruptly suspended on November 4, the same day it was set for its second reading in the House of Lords. This stage, which involves a general debate on the entire text, had been approved after discussions. However, just a few hours later, the government led by Sir Keir Starmer decided to withdraw the committal motion, effectively halting the progression of the bill to the next stage.
