Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he plans to have with his European counterparts on preparing for potential Russian aggression in Europe in the next five years.

The Secretary of State for Defence regularly holds discussions with our European allies, whether at NATO, through the Joint Expeditionary Force or bilaterally, on how we can ensure that we will continue to deter and defend against Russian aggression both in the short term and into the future.
