Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has had discussions with his European counterparts on the scope of work of the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation.
As a founding member, the Ministry of Defence has valued the opportunities for close collaboration and interoperability with our allies which the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) presents since 1996. We take our obligations under the OCCAR Convention seriously.
Our Board of Supervisors member Vice Admiral Sir Rick Thompson meets with his counterparts biannually to discuss both strategic and programmatic matters.
