Leaving the EU: Aerospace Industry

Question

What assessment he has made of the effect on the defence and military aerospace industry of the UK leaving the EU.

Answer

The Ministry of Defence is working closely with the defence industry to understand the implications and opportunities presented by the UK’s departure

from the European Union. We want to explore how our industries can continue working together, but it is worth noting that current collaborative capability projects, such as Typhoon, are managed bilaterally or with groups of partners, rather than through the EU.
