Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, from what date is the Royal Navy due to commence its commitment to NATO Standing Naval Maritime Group 1.

Answer

The Royal Navy routinely contributes to NATO's Standing Naval Forces, including Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1), as part of the UK's ongoing commitment to Alliance deterrence and defence. The specific dates of UK deployments are subject to operational planning and security considerations, but the UK continues to meet all NATO readiness and force generation requirements.
