Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure security of communications between members of the Armed Forces and their international counterparts.

The Ministry of Defence has a robust information and data classification policy that enables information to be stored, processed and shared securely with our international partners. The policy is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it remains appropriate to the threats we face and communications are carried out on systems with controls proportionate for the classification level.
