F-35 Aircraft
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026 to question 5077 on F-35 Aircraft, by when does he expect the F-35B production line to close.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The decision on when to close the F-35B production line will be for the UK F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) to make. The requirement for F-35 Lightning aircraft through the life of the programme is well understood by the multi-national JPO.
