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 can tell the hon. Gentleman. Let me say it very clearly and very slowly, because I know that hon. Members have written their speeches before the debate started: zero. Zero is less than the deal the Minister is choosing. Let me repeat it very slowly for the hon. Gentleman and for Members across the House: the deal was ended. There was no deal. The negotiations stopped. There were no negotiations.
