Future Combat Air System: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress has been made on the Future Combat Air System programme.

Answer

When I last provided an update to the House in December 2023, the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) Treaty had been signed in Tokyo with our international partners Japan and Italy. This laid the ground for the legal entity of the GCAP International Government Organisation (GIGO). The Treaty has since been laid before UK Parliament, as part of its formal ratification process.
