Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a programme of exercises will be put in place as part of the trilateral security pact between Australia, the UK and the US.

AUKUS is a partnership that will work to protect our people and support a peaceful and rules-based international order. Under the 'AUKUS' alliance, we will enhance the development of joint capabilities, interoperability between our forces and technology sharing, ensuring our people are kept safe from harm and reinforcing our shared goals. AUKUS will foster deeper integration of security and defence-related science, technology, industrial bases and supply chains.
