As the UK is not a PESCO participating Member State and is not subject to the PESCO binding commitments, we have not developed a National Implementation Plan for PESCO. We are considering whether a National Implementation Plan for civilian CSDP is required before the UK leaves the EU.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 11/07/2019 15:08:06 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
