The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of establishing a joint secretariat to support trilateral AUKUS representatives.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The UK remains fully committed to “full steam ahead” on AUKUS, injecting pace, focus and significant investment to drive delivery, alongside the US and Australia. The House of Commons Defence Committee report on AUKUS sets out a recommendation to establish a joint secretariat to support trilateral AUKUS representatives. The Government will publish a full response to the Committee report in due course.
