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

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

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

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.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

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.
