Joint Expeditionary Force

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 28 October 2024UIN 10750

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to discuss participation in joint procurement initiatives with other Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) nations at the next JEF summit.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The JEF by design is a collaborative effort among 10 like-minded nations, with similar interests and priorities. There are currently no JEF-badged joint procurement initiatives, nor any immediate intention to explore this avenue of co-operation, though we do not rule out the prospect of future work in this area.
