Boeing E-7: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a formal contract has been signed with Boeing for three E-7 Wedgetail.

Answer

In March 2019 the Ministry of Defence signed a contract with Boeing Defence UK to deliver five Wedgetail aircraft to the Royal Air Force (RAF). Following the Integrated Review decision to reduce the number of Wedgetail aircraft that would enter RAF service, elements of that contract were renegotiated and formal agreement on the associated change has been reached; the contract amendment is in the process of being enacted.
