Typhoon Aircraft: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to purchase new Typhoon aircraft following the Strategic Defence Review.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Strategic Defence Review does not recommend reductions in fast jets for the RAF, but it confirms the Government's commitment to GCAP and to upgrade Typhoons. It also says more F-35s could comprise a mix of F-35A and B models according to military requirements. The Government is committed to upgrading Typhoons and driving exports of Typhoons abroad.
