Diego Garcia: Military Bases
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much the United States contributed to the running cost of the Diego Garcia military base in the most recent financial year for which information is available.
Answered by Luke Pollard
As agreed in the US-UK Exchange of Notes which governs the US use of Diego Garcia, there is no direct payment between the US and the UK for use of the base. The US pays for the operating and maintenance costs of the Naval Support Facility on Diego Garcia.
