F-35 Aircraft: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he takes to ensure UK components supplied to the F-35 programme can be subjected to (a) a product recall and (b) an air accident investigation process .
Answered by Maria Eagle
If there is a need for a product recall this will be managed by the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) through its global industry supply chain.
Air accident investigation is undertaken by the F-35 Partner Nation that has experienced the accident. They will be supported by the JPO and any findings impacting air safety will be shared with all Partner Nations.
