Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether NATO has informed the Government of the consequences of delays to the Ajax programme for the UK’s obligations to the alliance.
The UK works closely with NATO on our Capability Targets and in providing significant operational support for Alliance operations. We provided supplementary information regarding our land plans during bilateral meetings held in London in late January. During these meetings, NATO did not indicate that delays to the AJAX programme would have consequences for meeting the UK's obligations to the Alliance.
