Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 April 2025

Debate

British Indian Ocean Territory

Contribution

The President and Vice-President of the United States have made clear their detestation of countries freeloading on defence and security matters. We are not asking for the detail, we are not even asking for the quantum, but we do deserve to know in this House today whether the Government have asked the US to contribute to the base on Diego Garcia that is so vital to it—yes or no?
