Typhoon Aircraft: Exports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to take steps to help firms secure orders of Eurofighter Typhoon jets from international partners.
Answered by Gareth Thomas
Exports of the Eurofighter Typhoon jets are led by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). My Department does however support MOD-led export campaigns through our network of staff in the UK and overseas. We also work closely with the Typhoon partner governments of Germany, Italy and Spain, in line with the commitments each nation has made to support the others' exports.
Earlier this month, the Defence Secretary was in Turkey and Saudi Arabia to discuss with Defence Ministers the future role that UK-made Typhoons could play in both countries.
