BAE Systems: Typhoon Aircraft
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has had discussions with BAE Systems on the cessation of final assembly for Typhoon aircraft at its Warton facility.
Answered by Maria Eagle
Over the last three months I have held regular discussions with BAE Systems and a wide range of other stakeholders on Typhoon production and in support of ongoing Typhoon export campaigns. To provide the UK with the most relevant and capable force, the Ministry of Defence continually reviews the demand for Combat Aircraft which will be required to operate in increasingly demanding and changing threat environments. The ongoing Strategic Defence Review is also examining this area.
