Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill

Before we move to consideration of the Lords amendments, I can confirm that Lords amendments 2, 3 and 6 engage Commons financial privilege. Having given careful consideration to Lords amendments 2 and 3, Mr Speaker is satisfied that they would impose a charge on the public revenue that has not been authorised by this House. In accordance with paragraph (3) of Standing Order No. 78, the amendments will therefore be deemed to be disagreed to and are not subject to debate.

Clause 1

Commencement of Treaty and main provisions of this Act

I beg to move, That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 1.
