Labour — Leyton and Wanstead

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2024

Debate

Chagos Islands

Contribution

It is difficult to fathom concerns raised by the Opposition about the consequences of governmental transition, as it was the former Conservative Foreign Secretary, the right hon. Member for Braintree (Mr Cleverly), who said, when leading negotiations with Mauritius: “Our primary objective is to ensure the continued effective operation of our defence facility on Diego Garcia.”—[Official Report, 13 June 2023; Vol. 734, c. 151.] Does my hon. Friend agree that this Government have now delivered that, and should the Conservatives not be welcoming the agreement?
