Asked by Rachael MaskellLabour (Co-op)Department for Business and TradeTabled Answered 10 June 2025UIN 56814

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what revenues (a) the Government and (b) manufacturers have received from selling components into the F35 global spare parts pool in each of the last three years.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

The UK Government does not sell F-35 components directly, but licences the export of components to the F-35 global programme from a number of UK suppliers.

The Department for Business and Trade does not hold information on the revenue of companies generated from sales to the F-35 global spares pool.
