F-35 Aircraft: Spare Parts
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what information his Department holds on which countries purchase spare parts from the F35 global spare part pool.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
Once parts are exported from the UK to the global F-35 programme, the UK does not have access to information about the movement of individual components, and does not have control over whether components in the global spares pool are used for specific customer nations or not.
