Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Contribution

I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way. The former Prime Minister, the right hon. Member for Richmond and Northallerton (Rishi Sunak), called the Mauritian Prime Minister on 22 February 2024 and reassured him that “the UK remains committed to a mutually beneficial outcome…and their teams look forward to continuing to work on this.” Will he comment on that?
