GB News: Chagos Islands: Civil servants splashed £75k on business class flights, hotels and taxis to negotiate deal
UK civil servants incurred nearly £75,000 in expenses for business class travel, hotel stays, and taxis during negotiations to transfer the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. This spending, which includes £68,452 on flights and £3,458 on accommodations, has drawn criticism for its impact on taxpayers.
Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge has condemned the expenses, arguing they reflect poor value for money, especially given the potential £9-£18 billion cost of the transfer. The Foreign Office defended the costs, stating that in-person negotiations are necessary for complex agreements.
