§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will publish the terms of the lease between Her Majesty's Government and the United States Government for the use of Diego Garcia.
§ Mr. EggarI have been asked to reply.
There is no lease between the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States for the use of Diego Garcia. Its use is based on exchanges of notes dated 30 December 1966 (published as Cmnd. 3231) and 25 February 1976 (published as Cmnd. 6413).
