C-17 Aircraft: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the TDEL costs of the UK's lease agreement with Boeing for four C-17 Globemasters.

Answer

The RAF leased four C-17 from 2001 to 2007. The MOD bought out the lease in 2008 to bring those four aircraft into the Departmental fleet. The lease was announced in 2000. Forecast costs were also published through Major Projects Reports during that period which forecast the cost of the initial lease at £769 million against an approved cost at Main Gate of £785 million.

However, the lease deal pre-dates the creation of DE&S and the full introduction of Resource Based Accounting, therefore the actual cost data and TDel is no longer held centrally.
