Defence: EU Countries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to improve defence relationships with European allies.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Deepening our defence relationships with European allies continues to be a priority.
Since July 2024 we have signed several new agreements to deepen cooperation, including the UK-Germany Trinity House Agreement and the UK-Estonia roadmap. During 2025 we will also reinvigorate the UK-France Lancaster House Agreement.
Our NATO first approach will complement this work. Investing in our collective defence and security is crucial to further improving our defence relationship with Europe as a whole.
