Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, by what date his Department plans to double the number of British troops in Estonia; and what the total number of troops in Estonia will be on that date.
The current 'steady state' number of troops in Estonia is 900 from the Royal Tank Regiment (RTR). RTR will remain deployed when 1 Royal Welsh arrives in March. The total numbers during this period will be 1,700.
