The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has authorised any orders for Joint Air-to-Ground Missiles since the general election.

Answered by Maria Eagle

No, Joint Air-to-Ground Missiles remains one of the top priorities for the Army as it's critical to providing the Apache with the means to fight on the modern battlefield. In-Year Funding has been protected to ensure this procurement can proceed.
