Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 February 2025

Debate

British Indian Ocean Territory

Contribution

As the shadow Defence Secretary is aware, it was the Prime Minister who came forward and said how he was going to spend that funding. The Opposition need to know if the defence increase he announced includes the Chagos deal. The Government have made that decision but they have to put it to the House first. It does not make any difference if the announcement has already been made to Parliament, because we are talking about the defence budget.
