The UK and NATO constantly monitor the threats to the Euro-Atlantic security environment. The Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP) we have deployed 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 NATO faces in the region. The effectiveness of UK involvement in this operation is founded upon our longstanding engagement and interoperability with NATO, our host nations of Estonia and Poland, our EFP partners, the US, Denmark, and France.

The UK Government fully supports the US military action on 7 April 2017 against the Syrian air force base at Shayrut, from which it is assessed that the Syrian regime launched a chemical weapons attack against its own population. The US action reinforces the internationally-held red line that the use of chemical weapons is barbaric and illegal. It is not practicable to provide protection in advance against specific chemical weapons attacks, which take place indiscriminately and without warning. The UK has provided support to the White Helmets, which helps to ensure that they are among the first to respond to any attack and are able to save lives. In the face of continued intransigence by the Syrian regime and its backers, the UK will continue to work through options with our international partners to overcome the challenges before us.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2000", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Earl Howe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Earl Howe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-04-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-04-18T15:10:14.657Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-04-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Syria: Chemical Weapons"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether they are taking steps, in collaboration with UK allies, to use the latest technologies to provide early warnings to communities in Syria of chemical attacks; and whether those early warnings systems could be used by allied forces for aerial release of equipment such as medicines and face masks where appropriate.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2543", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hunt of Chesterton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hunt of Chesterton"} ], "uin" : "HL6679"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/717935", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/717935/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

An EU Defence Union concept has been discussed in the European Parliament but is non-binding and has not been raised in the EU Council. At the March European Council, member states agreed to some limited proposals to improve the effectiveness of the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy, including a Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC) to improve oversight and coordination of the three EU non-executive military missions. We have limited the size and scope of the MPCC, ensuring that it is responsible for these non-executive missions only and that its Director will only exercise Operational Control - there is no increase in command authority over and above what already exists.<\/p>

There are no finalised proposals for multilateral defence procurement, but the European Defence Agency is engaged in projects across the defence spectrum to help deliver the results and capabilities of member states through increased coordination. 'Permanent Structured Cooperation' has been proposed by some as a way of giving further impetus to European capability development but we continue to make clear that the starting point should be for member states to spend more nationally; that military capabilities remain owned by member states; and that any proposals should be considered in light of work underway at NATO.<\/p>

The European Network of Defence-related Regions (ENDR) brings together regional authorities and industrial clusters with the intention of sharing information, experiences and best practices in both building dual-use strategies and accessing EU funding. The ENDR is particularly aimed at supporting small and medium sized enterprises that are working in the dual use area.<\/p>

The UK Government has no official role within the ENDR but will when appropriate highlight funding opportunities to UK industry and organisations. Marine South East, the Solent-region based cluster, was recently successful in bidding and received funding from the ENDR for hosting the ENDR's second conference on 4 April in Southampton, which focused on marine and maritime-based technologies.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2000", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Earl Howe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Earl Howe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-04-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-04-18T15:12:24.717Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-04-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "European Network of Defence-related Regions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what is the purpose of the European Network of Defence-related Regions; and what part the UK plays in it.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3153", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Pearson of Rannoch"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Pearson of Rannoch"} ], "uin" : "HL6687"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/717941", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/717941/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
