To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 5 March 2026 to question 116103 on NATO Response Force, will UK contributions to the ARF Special Operations Forces element be exclusively under NATO Command or still available for UK operations via the Ministry of Defence.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many troops the UK contributed to the NATO Response Force in each year since 2010.
The Ministry of Defence is only required to keep non-operational records for five-years. For the previous five-years, the UK troop contribution to the NATO Response Force (NRF) was as follows: 2018 - 1,993 troops; 2019 - 934 troops; 2020 - 934 troops; 2021 - 1416 troops; 2022 - 495 troops and in 2023 - 4,719 troops.

What progress has been made on the creation of a NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force.
Significant progress has been made on the very high readiness joint task force. The interim force is established and the operational force will be ready by the Warsaw summit next year. We will contribute a battle group to the Spanish-led task force next year, and we will lead a fully operational task force brigade from January 2017. Our contribution that year will increase from 2,500 to 3,000 personnel.

We are continuing to press for sanctions to be upheld against Russia. We are helping Ukrainian armed forces with trainers at six different sites in western Ukraine, training and improving the capacity of the Ukrainian armed forces. We have troops exercising in eastern Europe—in Romania and the Baltic—and our Typhoons are flying every day this summer to help to protect Baltic airspace.

We have not yet got to the stage where Future Force 2020 has been completed. We have time enough to ensure that our total of 30,000 reservists is reached, but my hon. Friend will recall our manifesto commitment of no further cuts in the size of the regular armed forces.

The need for the development of a NATO very high readiness joint task force is reflected by the deteriorating wider security situation, particularly with the Russians. That is not wholly consistent with relying on 30,000 reservists
as part of our armed forces. If the wider security situation continues to deteriorate, will the Secretary of State review that reliance?
