Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2026

Debate

British Indian Ocean Territory

Contribution

Absolutely. On a technicality, the Minister is right to say that the treaty in front of us has no problems, but at the end of the day it is about the interaction with other treaties once we have signed it and sovereignty has been given away. My hon. Friend is right that things would not be covered once Diego Garcia no longer belonged to us, and the Government are struggling to explain that difficulty.
