Written question asked by Lord Gilbert (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) on Tuesday, 15 November 2011.


Armed Forces: A400M

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have sought any assurance from the Government of Germany that it will make no further reductions in its orders for the A400M.
Answer

When the Government of Germany signed the amended design and production phase contract in April 2011, they committed to ordering an agreed number of A400M aircraft, and we do not expect this number to change. As a result, no such assurances are considered necessary.
