Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place in the Library a list of bilateral and multilateral defence agreements excluding those with NATO and the EU.
Bilateral and multilateral defence agreements in treaty form can be found on the UK Treaties Online database and since 2010 there has been a legal requirement to lay new treaties before Parliament. Bilateral and multilateral defence agreements in memorandum of understanding or contract form cannot be listed and placed in the Library as listing would prejudice relations between the United Kingdom and other states and would or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
