	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>NATO will remain the cornerstone of our defence and security, and the UK will retain full sovereign control over its defence policy and decision making. A deal with the EU will, however, enable us to cooperate on foreign and security policy issues of shared interest. Accordingly, the Political Declaration agreed in November 2018 states that the UK's future relationship with the EU should benefit from cooperation on capabilities that facilitate interoperability and to promote joint effectiveness of Armed Forces. It thereby provides the option for the UK to participate in mutually beneficial capability projects and initiatives on a case-by-case basis, through the European Defence Agency, the European Defence Fund and PESCO, subject to conditions in Union law.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 02/05/2019 14:56:19 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
