NATO: Armed Forces
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department's policy is on the role of the UK in the NATO Enhanced Forward Presence.
Answered by Luke Pollard
NATO is the cornerstone of Euro-Atlantic security, and the UK’s commitment to the Alliance is unshakeable. The UK is the Framework Nation for the Forward Land Forces Battlegroup in Estonia, with UK forces deterring threats on NATO’s eastern flank. In October 2024 the Defence Secretary reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to scale this force to a brigade if required when the UK and Estonia signed a Defence Roadmap.
The UK contributes a squadron to the US-led Forward Land Forces in Poland.
