Proceeding contribution from Luke Pollard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 January 2026. It occurred during Opposition day on British Indian Ocean Territory.
British Indian Ocean Territory
Again, the hon. Gentleman did not quite hit my bar, but I am sure I will get a parliamentary question from him about it.
The Conservatives started the negotiations, I am afraid, and they want everyone to forget it. They want the public to forget it; they want their own MPs to forget it. If they cannot do deals, they are in the wrong place.
Some interesting questions were asked today, and I want to try to deal with some of them.
