National Security Council
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will set out which current operations have been endorsed by the National Security Council.
Answered by Al Carns
Decisions to undertake military operations are taken in accordance with established constitutional and governance arrangements. The National Security Council considers the strategic approach to national security, foreign policy, resilience, international relations, economic security, trade, development, defence and global issues. It is a long-established precedent that information about the discussions that have taken place in Cabinet and its Committees, and how often they have met, is not shared publicly.
