§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
What has been the cumulative value to the United States of the rents and charges that might be associated with the sites provided free from all rent and charges on Ascension Island, as referred to in Article XXIII of the Agreement of 25 June 1956 between the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States; and in Diego Garcia.
§ Lord CheshamThe sites on Ascension and Diego Garcia are provided to the United States free of rent and charges. There has been no need to determine notional or actual values of the sites. It is not possible, therefore, to provide a figure showing the cumulative value of them.
