Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Berkeley (Labour). It was answered by Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) on Thursday, 11 December 2025.
United States: Intelligence Sharing
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty’s Government why they have reportedly suspended some intelligence sharing with the United States of America.
- Answer
-
There are long-standing intelligence and law enforcement frameworks between the UK and its Five Eyes partners: the US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Those frameworks continue. It is the long-standing policy of successive Governments to not comment on the detail of intelligence matters, but for the benefit of the House, I can say that the Foreign Secretary and the US Secretary of State have both dismissed recent reports.
