To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the effectiveness of NATO's readiness, in the context of potential changes in policy from the incoming United States administration.

Asked by:
Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

NATO is the world’s most successful alliance. It represents 50 per cent of the world’s military capability, with 500,000 troops now on high readiness

As NATO allies, the UK-US special relationship is built on a foundation of our deep security partnership and unique historical ties. We look forward to working closely with the new US administration to ensure the Alliance will continue to support the security of the Euro-Atlantic.
