Diego Garcia: Military Bases
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has discussed the proposed payment to leaseback the military base on Diego Garcia with the Office for Value for Money.
Answered by Luke Pollard
We continue to work closely with HM Treasury on the agreement with Mauritius and will take this forward into the Spending Review. The Office for Value for Money has not been involved in these discussions to date.
Details of the Treaty agreed between the UK and Mauritius will come before Parliament for scrutiny in the usual manner following its signature.
