Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Michael Jack (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 30 October 2006 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Eurofighter Typhoon
- Question
- I thank the Minister for the update on those numbers. I remind him that the Government have remained consistent to a commitment to buy 232 Eurofighter Typhoons. Given that 72 of those aircraft have already been sold, on a Government to Government basis, to Saudi Arabia, may I conclude that the number that the RAF will eventually be given is 160?
- Answer
-
The Saudi Arabian export order is completely separate from the UK’s commitments under the international memorandum of understanding signed by the Typhoon partner nations. The answer I gave to the right hon. Gentleman’s original question still stands.
