Mauritius' recently-elected Prime Minister has suggested the UK would double its payments to retain a military base on the Chagos islands, once London cedes control of the archipelago. The prospect of paying billion of pounds more under a re-negotiated deal is causing concern among ministers, at a time when the Treasury is looking for savings.
