The islands, also known as the Chagos Archipelago - comprised of seven atolls with about 60 individual islands - were separated from Mauritius in 1965, when Mauritius was still a British colony.Britain purchased the islands for £3m but Mauritius has argued that it was illegally forced to give them away as part of a deal to gain independence from Britain.

In the late 1960s, Britain invited the US to build a military base on Diego Garcia, the largest of the Chagos Islands, forcibly removing thousands of people from their homes in the process.Some of those Chagossians ended up in Mauritius and the Seychelles, but others settled in the UK, mostly in Crawley, West Sussex.The UK has handed sovereignty of the archipelago to Mauritius, but will lease use of Diego Garcia for a period of 99 years - at an average cost of £101m a year.

The UK will pay £165m in each of the first three years. From years four to 13, it will pay £120m a year. After that, payments will be indexed to inflation.Sir Keir said continued use of Diego Garcia as a military base had been signed off by members of the five eyes alliance - the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The US will pay for "running costs" of the base, he said.

Under the deal, although Mauritius will control Diego Garcia, it will not be allowed to resettle the island."He's an artist that Radio 1 has supported from day one," says Greg.
