Nigel Farage demands answers from UK government over Mauritius phone-hackling allegations
Nigel Farage has said reports that the British High Commission in Mauritius had its phones hacked would prove the Mauritian government is a “bad actor” if true.
The Reform UK leader raised the question in Westminster to Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty.
Mr Farage told the Commons: “Since the mistaken opening of negotiations by the last government on the sovereignty of the Chagos islands, it turns out the British High Commissioner and others appear to have been bugged by the government of Mauritius.
“If the police investigation into this proves to be true, and we can see that Mauritius, their government at least, are bad actors, in the light of that is the 99 year old lease that you’ve got on Diego Garcia, even worth the paper that is written on?”
