Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andrew Rosindell (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 3 November 2008 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Royal Air Force

Question
Will the Minister assure the House that the Government are committed to, and will order, the joint strike fighter?
Answer

As the hon. Member knows, the joint strike fighter is in its development phase, and we will need to take the decision next year about purchasing the first two development aircraft. We have to take this stage by stage, and I shall be going to America to talk to the major manufacturer fairly shortly. This programme is essential to our plans, and we remain absolutely committed to it.
