I welcome the new Defence Secretary to Question Time, and simply pose a quick question to him, because we need some clarity about the Chagos deal. Will he confirm that it has been cancelled and that the money—the billions—that was going to Mauritius has now been transferred to defence spending?
- Answer
-
It is a fair question. I am looking very closely at the detail, and I will discuss it with our American allies.
