I believe that tanks help Effective Crisis management and are a more valuable British subscription to deterrence and defence of the northern flank area than Trident missiles could ever be.

I should remind the noble Lord of the aim of that annex which states: "The aim in relations between the EU and NATO is to ensure effective consultation, co-operation and transparency in determining the appropriate military responses to crises and to guarantee Effective Crisis management".

Although we agree that clear responsibilities are important for Effective Crisis management, we believe that the Bill sets out the framework for this extremely clearly and the MoU then fleshes that out.

That leads to costly and less Effective Crisis intervention.

6 times more likely to be admitted as in-patients or detained under the Mental Health Act 1983, indicating a systemic failure to provide Effective Crisis care for these groups.
