Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to discuss with his EU counterparts changes to Third Country involvement in their Coordinated Annual Review on Defence.
This question was answered on 3rd March 2020
As a non-EU country, the UK will not participate in the Coordinated Annual Review on Defence (CARD), and we have no plans to ask for CARD to be open to third countries. The UK will, however, continue to call for full coherence between CARD and NATO's Defence Planning Process to avoid unnecessary duplication.
