The UK contribution to European Security

Inquiry

This inquiry will examine the UK’s contribution to European Security. It will examine the UK's contribution to NATO and its bilateral defence relationships with other European countries. This inquiry will look at the UK's contribution to multilateral frameworks outside of NATO. In addition, it will explore the UK's NATO and non-NATO European commitments. The inquiry will also examine where the UK provides niche capabilities and where other European Allies might be relied upon to provide them.

The inquiry will assess UK Defence’s standing in the region and whether the UK's contribution to European security is both cohesive and effective.
