Address criticisms on UK's lack of mass and NATO Article 3 failures with implementation timeline
Recommendation
We were concerned to hear that the UK’s lack of mass is denuding its leadership in NATO. In addition, the lack of resourcing dedicated to the UK meeting its Article 3 commitments is a further failure of leadership. We recommend that the Government addresses these criticisms in detail in its response to this report, setting out the actions it is taking to resolve these issues with a timeline for implementation. (Recommendation, Paragraph 34)
