To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what has been the cost of implementation of the Anglo-French TEUTATES treaty since its inception in 2010; and whether French military personnel are based at AWE Aldermaston or AWE Burghfield as part of the treaty

Answer

Luke Pollard
I am withholding the cost of the Teutates programme as release would prejudice international relations. No French personnel, civilian or military, are based at AWE’s Aldermaston or Burghfield sites as part of the programme.
