Military Aircraft: Contracts

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the International Traffic in Arms Regulations compliance costs were for the (a) Protector, (b) Tomahawk, (c) AH-64 Apache, (d) F-35, (e) E-7 Wedgetail and (f) P-8 Poseidon programmes.

Answer

Compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and other foreign export control rules which may apply to the equipment and technology that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) procures, is an inherent and ongoing element built into regular programme management and operational activities. Therefore, its costs cannot be identified separately by the MOD.
