The decision to relinquish the Chagos Islands has provoked outrage among MPs, highlighting tensions surrounding British sovereignty and control of strategic military locations in the Indian Ocean.
The Prime Minister's spokesman emphasized that the current government's agreement ensures the military base at Diego Garcia is legally secure and undisputed for the first time in over 50 years.
Andrew Mitchell expressed concern regarding the protection of British interests against Chinese influence in the region and the financial implications for British taxpayers resulting from the deal.
