Background
The prospect of EU military unification has neither been properly debated in Parliament nor presented to the British public. The full implications of the European Defence Fund (EDF) and Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) are not widely understood in the UK. Before any agreement is signed, the UK government must ensure a transparent, open debate and put the matter to a referendum.
