PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(25 February 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 19 February 2025 to Question 30623 on British Indian Ocean Territory: Sovereignty, what the estimated full time equivalent is of those officials.

Asked by:
Steve Barclay (Conservative)

Work on the British Indian Ocean Territory - including policy development, legal advice and operational work - is spread across a wide range of officials in teams across the Ministry of Defence. It is therefore difficult to provide a full-time equivalent figure that is both precise and appropriately conveys the amount of time devoted to this issue.
