Lord Mayhew

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What bilateral defence arrangements they have with the Government of Israel and the Government of Lebanon.

Earl Howe

As with many other friendly countries, the UK has defence contacts with Israel and Lebanon in a number of fields. There are specific arrangements governing co-operation with Israel on defence material, defence research and the protection of classified information; and, with Lebanon, governing co-operation in mapping and related geographic matters.
