Britain And France Share Troops To Save Cash

The countries will share use of Britain's new fully-operational aircraft carrier

Britain and France will commit to share troops, aircraft carriers and nuclear testing facilities later today, in order to save cash.

David Cameron and president Nicolas Sarkozy will sign treaties tying British and French forces together for decades to come.
At an Anglo-French summit in London they will agree:
:: Co-ordination of aircraft carriers to ensure there is always a British or French vessel available for joint operations.
:: The creation of a Combined Joint Expeditionary Force training British and French troops to deploy on operations together.
:: The development of a new nuclear testing facility at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston and its French counterpart at Valduc.
It comes as both countries try to cut the cost of their armed forces.
