Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what future expenditure is planned from the £40 million Chagossian Support Package; and in which countries that spending is planned.

The FCDO continues to explore options for expenditure of the Chagossian Support Package in line with the areas of support announced by Ministers in 2016: Health, Social Care, Education, Employment, and Culture (awareness and retention). The Package is designed to support Chagossians in the communities where they live - principally this is in the UK, Mauritius and Seychelles.
