Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many British troops are deployed in Poland as part of the NATO Enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group led by the United States; what is their assessment of how successful those troops have been in deterring Russian belligerence; and whether there are any plans to increase the number of British troops deployed.

There are approximately 150 British troops deployed to Poland in support of NATO's enhanced Forward Presence (eFP). The precise number fluctuates due to routine troop rotations and activity such as exercises. UK troops have integrated well with Allied forces and we are confident that the deployment is achieving its aims as an important part of NATO's overall deterrence posture. There are no plans to increase the number of British troops deployed in Poland.
