ESTONIA: ARMED FORCES

25th November 2016

Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he expects the Framework Battalion, together with its armoured component, will be in place in Estonia.

Sir Michael Fallon, Secretary of State for Defence: The UK's Framework Battalion will be in Estonia from Spring 2017. Working with the militaries of our Estonian hosts and contributing Allies (Denmark and France), this "Enhanced Forward Presence" will form a defensive, but combat capable, NATO force.
