Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Wera Hobhouse and Stephen Doughty

Tuesday 20th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Wera Hobhouse (Bath) (LD)]

Through his new folly over Greenland, President Trump is increasingly bringing the UK closer to Europe. At Denmark’s request, would the UK allow European forces to use the UK’s command infrastructure for operations in and around Greenland?

[Stephen Doughty]

As the hon. Lady knows, we already work very closely with Denmark in NATO. Indeed, the Foreign Secretary has made clear our desire for an Arctic sentry programme, and we work with other partners in the High North through the joint expeditionary force, so we already work very closely together.
