Not Addressed
The Government notes the Committee’s recommendation. The response of the UK and our international partners to Russia’s military build-up has been clear and proportionate. Alongside Allies we will deter threats across a wide spectrum and protect our people. Since 2014, NATO has undertaken the biggest reinforcement of deterrence and defence in a generation, having agreed a new concept for Deterrence and Defence of the Euro- Atlantic Area, and adapting its structures and capabilities to deter present and emerging threats.
