The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether F-35 components were sent from RAF Marham to Israel between October 2023 and August 2024.

Answered by Maria Eagle

At the request of the US led F-35 Programme, there were 14 transfers of F-35 components from RAF Marham to Israel between October 2023 and August 2024. The transferred components are the property of the US Department of Defense.

In keeping with the Government's announcement on arms exports in September, there have been no exports of F-35 parts direct to Israel via RAF Marham since the licensing suspension.
