Armed Forces: Aircraft
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Astor of Hever on 22 June (WA 299–300), whether the operational costs referred to include upgrades of Tornado GR4 above and beyond the theatre entry standard for Libya and additional aircraft beyond those already so modified.
- Answer
-
The 82 Tornado GR4 aircraft already meet the theatre entry standard for Libya and are sufficient to meet operational requirements for the foreseeable future. Capability upgrades are already planned for in the defence budget and operational funding is not being used for this purpose.
