Lord Luce – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Luce on 2015-10-13.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether NATO has a policy concerning the access of Russian ships to NATO ports.

Baroness Anelay of St Johns

Access to ports in North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Member countries is the responsibility of national authorities. NATO Allies can and do coordinate with NATO on the transit of ships but NATO does not set policy.
