Military Attachés

Volume 456: debated on Wednesday 7 February 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence in which countries British military attachés are posted; and what plans he has to change the number of such posts. (114590)

The 80 countries listed are those where the UK currently has a resident accredited Defence Attache/Adviser. This global Defence Diplomacy network is subject to regular review as part of the normal planning process and to meet changing foreign and defence policy priorities. A recent FCO decision to withdraw its contribution to the cost of maintaining the Attache/Adviser network has necessitated such a review and this is underway. Decisions on any subsequent adjustments will not be made before the summer.
