Labour — Ealing Southall

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base

Contribution

I thank the Secretary of State for his statement. As the Prime Minister confirmed earlier today, the cost of this deal is slightly less than the average annual cost of just one aircraft carrier without the aircraft. Does the Secretary of State agree that this is a price well worth paying to ensure our country’s safety and security?
