Petition Action

Post Brexit British Armed Forces shouldnt be integrated into an EU defence force

Petition Details

Boris Johnson recently announced that post-Brexit British Armed forces are to be offered for integration into the Defence Apparatus of the European Union on terms, "Closer than a third country"
This will betray British voters who voted Leave to stop the ambitions of the EU to appropriate our Forces

Additional Information

Keeping Britain locked into the structures, policies and financial schemes of the new EU Defence Union in a post-Brexit world means passing control of our military to the EU at a time when the British public have voted overwhelmingly to take back that control.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

There is currently no EU Defence Force and the Foreign Secretary didn't announce plans to integrate the British Army into a possible future EU defence force, so we're not sure what action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.

You can read about the Foreign Secretary's comments in context here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
