Sammy Wilson

Democratic Unionist Party — East Antrim

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 October 2025

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

I do. Since the hon. Member has given me the opportunity, I will make the point now—I was going to make it later on—that while no Government Members have been rushing to defend the Bill in the Committee, hundreds of them will be rushing through the Lobby at 10 o’clock or half-past 10 to vote for it. That is the worrying thing. Defence of it, there is none; support for it, despite the issues we have highlighted, there will be.
