Mr. Cryer
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the economic development of Diego Garcia.
Mr. Onslow
So long as Diego Garcia is used solely for defence purposes, the question of economic development does not arise. When it is no longer so required, it will be ceded to Mauritius.
