The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he plans to take with his European counterparts to help develop defence projects.

Answered by Maria Eagle

European security is this Government’s foreign and defence priority. We will strengthen relationships with key European Allies through bilateral defence agreements, such as our recent Trinity House Agreement with Germany, and an ambitious UK-EU security pact which will bolster Euro-Atlantic security and complement our commitment to NATO.
