Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to discuss participation in joint procurement initiatives with other Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) nations at the next JEF summit.

The JEF by design is a collaborative effort among 10 like-minded nations, with similar interests and priorities. There are currently no JEF-badged joint procurement initiatives, nor any immediate intention to explore this avenue of co-operation, though we do not rule out the prospect of future work in this area.
