Proceeding contribution from Paul Holmes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 September 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill.
Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
I will in a second. I just want to emphasise the point so we do not hear it again. There were no negotiations. There was no deal. [Interruption.] The negotiations were stopped. There was no deal on offer, and no money was being offered. I hope that Members will scratch that bit out of their speeches as they go forward.
