India: Military Alliances
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the renewed Memorandum of Understanding between the UK and India on the volume of UK defence equipment exports to India.
- Answer
-
The Memorandum of Understanding underpins the commitment of the UK and India to strengthening our bilateral defence relationship. It will help us identify common defence and security capability needs, thereby allowing our defence and security industries to focus and collaborate more effectively on procurement opportunities, both in the UK and in India. The improvements in technology and manufacturing capabilities flowing from this co-operation will bolster our mutual security and prosperity for the long term.
