Mauritius: Information Sharing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there would be any circumstances in which the UK could opt out from informing Mauritius of an armed attack on a third state.
Answered by Luke Pollard
An agreement to inform a host nation about military action from their territory is standard practice in basing arrangements. Additionally, the UN Charter has a requirement to notify the UN of military action taken in self-defence. Any notification will take place after the event and will not require the UK to divulge sensitive information.
