Chagos Islands: Sovereignty
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has made a value for money assessment of the Chagos Island deal.
Answered by Darren Jones
HMT has been working with the FCDO and the MOD on this agreement. As the lead departments, responsibility for judging the value for money of any deal sits with the FCDO and the MOD, who must balance its commitments against wider priorities – as per the Managing Public Money framework.
