Gaza: F-35 Aircraft
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether F-35 fighter jets used by the Israel Defence Force in operations in Gaza contain components made in the UK.
Answered by Maria Eagle
F-35 components produced in the UK are crucial to the production and support of the global F-35 fleet and UK produced components are present on every F-35 aircraft.
UK suppliers do not have control of the components once they are exported from the UK and are placed in the global spares pool or on the aircraft assembly lines.
