USA: Intelligence Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if his Department will undertake a review of intelligence-sharing structures with the US.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The US and the UK have the closest of relationships; our defence, security and intelligence are completely intertwined. No two countries are as close as our two countries, and at a time like this, it would be a mistake to suggest that any weakening of that link is the way forward for security and defence in Europe. As such, the Department has no plans to undertake a review of our intelligence sharing arrangements with the US.
