Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Lyell (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 27 March 2006.
Armed Forces: Joint Strike Fighter
- Question
- My Lords, can the Minister confirm what I think I heard him say to the noble Lord, Lord Garden, referring to the Harrier? I understand that the GR 7/9 variety is being developed for marine and other such mixed operations. Can the Minister confirm that that is still in the framework and is not excluded from the contingency plans that he mentioned?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am sure that the House will understand that it is not in the British interest for us to go into detail about the specifics of our contingency plans. The Joint Strike Fighter programme is our clear preferred option—our plan A—but I am happy to assure the House that the contingency plans that are needed to maintain our plan B are in place.
