Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the press release entitled UK secures future of vital Diego Garcia Military Base to protect national security, published on 22 May 2025, if he will publish the Government Actuary's Department assessment of the net present value of the payments.

I hope the hon. Gentleman will understand that it is not normal practise for government departments to release details of financial calculations commissioned from the Government Actuary's Department.
