The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, Pursuant to the Answer of 8 October to Question 5333 on Defence: Procurement, what other projects which align with UK interests his Department is exploring on a project-by-project basis.

Answered by Maria Eagle

We want a new geopolitical partnership with the EU, that drives closer coordination and that complements our unshakeable commitment to NATO, which will remain the foremost vehicle for European security. We will continue to monitor EU defence initiatives and projects, in particular the extent to which they build capabilities that are required by NATO and allow meaningful participation of non-EU NATO Allies.
