Priti Patel

Conservative — Witham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 February 2025

Debate

British Indian Ocean Territory

Contribution

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. It is shameful, because these are exactly the questions that we on the Opposition Benches were putting forward to the Government, and they were simply refusing to be transparent and answer any questions whatsoever. The fact of the matter is that the credibility and integrity of the Government is at stake. If they cannot come clean on these simple questions, what else are they hiding?
