Defence Equipment: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with the Royal Air Force on the procurement of the Aermacchi M-345 fast jet trainer.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Royal Air Force continuously researches and assesses options for the sustainment, enhancement and development of hardware and systems to maintain competitive advantage within the flying training system. The Aermacchi M-345 fast jet trainer is one of several market options available and no formal market engagement has been conducted.
