Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 October 2024

Debate

British Indian Ocean Territory: Negotiations

Contribution

This deal secures the future of the base beyond the lifetime of anyone currently in this Parliament, and it can be extended. That is why the US Secretary of Defence has welcomed it. I would have thought that a former head of NATO of course welcomes this deal, because it secures the base and our national security, and the national security of the global community.
