Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many UK personnel were embedded in the National Security Agency Cryptologic Centre in Georgia USA, in each month between 1 October 2016 and 1 October 2017.

The Ministry of Defence places personnel in a wide variety of roles in the United States in order to further cooperation with our most important ally on defence matters. I am witholding information on specific roles or postings as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
