- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions has he had with representatives of (a) BAE, (b) Babcock and (c) UNITE Union on the potential effect of moving work carried out on the Hawk Contract for T1 and T2 jets from RAF Valley to RAF Leeming on jobs at RAF Valley.
- Answer
-
As part of routine contract negotiations between the Ministry of Defence and BAE Systems to provide Hawk aircraft engineering and support services until 2033, a range of options are being considered. Any decision will be based on a series of factors, including operational requirements.
The negotiations with BAE Systems have yet to conclude and any subsequent business case will be subject to a robust scrutiny process to ensure value for money and balance of investment. As part of these negotiations, consultation and meetings have taken place between BAE Systems and the Unite Trade Union.
A formal decision on the future support arrangements for Hawk TMk1 and TMk2 will complete once the scrutiny process has concluded.
