Eastern Europe: Armed Forces
(asked on 27th February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Earl Howe on 30 January (HL Deb, col 969), whether the defensive deployment of British forces in Estonia and Poland is being kept under review.
This question was answered on 7th March 2017
The UK and NATO constantly monitor the threats to the Euro-Atlantic security environment. The Enhanced Forward Presence we are deploying to the Baltic States and Poland is defensive in nature, but combat capable, and we will configure our forces appropriately in response to the challenges we face in the region. This may include adjusting the size and composition of our contributions over time.
