Mr Hamish Falconer

Labour — Lincoln

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 February 2026

Debate

Diego Garcia and British Indian Ocean Territory

Contribution

No. We will not declassify what we do at RAF Waddington, and we will not declassify what we do in defence of the realm. It is not a serious proposition. There are obviously mechanisms, through Parliament, by which secret material can be considered through the Intelligence and Security Committee, and we will continue to use those mechanisms.
