Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will publish the Exchange of Notes with the United States Government on the conditions under which Aldabra Atoll may be used for defence purposes.

Mr. Mulley

Aldabra is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory. An Exchange of Notes between Her Majesty's Government and the United States Government, signed on 30th December, 1966, sets out the conditions on which the British Indian Ocean Territory is available for defence purposes. This Exchange of Notes was published as Command 3231 in April, 1967.
