Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the UK's withdrawal from the EU on the future of existing European missions in Libya, Ukraine and Afghanistan.
This question was answered on 8th July 2016
The process for the withdrawal of the UK from the EU will take time. Until then, we remain a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force. We are also a member of the UN Security Council, of NATO, the Commonwealth, of the G7 and the G20. Our commitment to our extensive security cooperation with our international partners remains steadfast.
