The Foreign Office's oversight in not keeping track of Chagos Islands deal expenses raises questions about governmental accountability and financial transparency in international agreements. As it admitted that no clear figure on spending is available, this lack of accountability can lead to mistrust among taxpayers concerning how their money is spent.
