To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department is taking steps with international aviation regulators to oversee Boeing’s (a) manufacturing and (b) safety practices.
The Department for Transport (DfT) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regularly engage with international counterparts on safety issues.
The primary responsibility for Boeing aircraft is through the Type Certificate Holder and their certificating authority. The certificating authority for Boeing aircraft is the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The FAA informed the CAA and DfT that they have increased oversight and directed Boeing to create an action plan to address issues identified which was submitted in May 2024. The FAA continue to actively monitor Boeing and delivery of their action plan.
In relation to the recent accident involving Air India flight AI171, the preliminary report ruled out the need for wider action against this aircraft type, engine or manufacturer.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to instruct the Civil Aviation Authority to conduct an investigation into the safety of Boeing aircraft models that are in service in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to instruct the Civil Aviation Authority to conduct an investigation into the safety of Boeing aircraft models that are in service in the UK.
No. The UK Civil Aviation Authority, as the UK’s aviation safety regulator, are responsible for regulatory oversight of UK airlines and operations. It is for them to assess whether further action is required within the UK. At this time they have ruled out the need for further checks in the UK.
In regard to the recent accident involving Air India flight AI171, currently, we are not aware of any evidence regarding this incident to suggest there is an unsafe condition with any commercial Boeing aircraft types. The preliminary report of this accident ruled out the need for wider action against this aircraft type, engine or manufacturer.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what contractual penalties will Boeing face if it fails to deliver the Royal Air Force’s E-7 Wedgetail aircraft to the agreed capability standards; and how will these penalties be enforced.
There is no additional cost to the Authority (MOD) due to the late delivery of the aircraft, as Boeing are contracted to deliver a fleet of three Wedgetail under a Firm Price contract. The contract does include incentivisation milestones which are subject to enforcement measures based on contractor performance.

Both I and departmental officials engage proactively with industry, including Boeing, Airbus and other manufacturers, on aviation safety. The Civil
Aviation Authority, the independent safety regulator for the aviation sector, also engages regularly across the industry. I should point out that we have some of the safest skies in the world. The fatal accident rate of UK airlines is among the lowest in Europe and the world. We have not had a single fatal accident involving commercial passenger airplanes for more than 29 years. I am determined that that safety record will continue.

The Minister might know that I am the chair of a manufacturing group for Members of Parliament. Airbus, Rolls-Royce and Boeing are amazing manufacturers at the heart of our manufacturing economy, but does he agree that we must sort out the problems that seem to have occurred in the manufacture of Boeing’s 737 MAX? Does he agree that the faster our regulators work with American regulators to sort this out, the better for British jobs and British innovation?

I absolutely agree with the hon. Member that they are amazing companies with huge operations in the UK and enviable safety records. Not one of the 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9s operating globally operates in the UK or from the UK, so there was no need to ground them. The Department for Transport liaises closely with American authorities. The CAA follows very closely the work of the US Federal Aviation Administration to ensure that safety standards remain as high as possible.

We can confirm that, under Business Appointment rules, no One or Two Star military officers have reported to the Ministry of Defence that they have taken or are planning to take up a job with Boeing during the past five years. Please note that this is a voluntary process and former officers may have taken up posts without informing the Department.
Three and Four Star military personnel are required to inform the Government Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) about the first job they intend to take after leaving the Armed Forces. This information is held by ACOBA and can be requested at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/advisory-committee-on-business-appointments.
The MOD started to monitor Three Star and Four Star Business Appointments from 2023-24. In the past year no officers at those grades have taken up a post with Boeing.
I do not know whether the Minister is aware of the plans being developed at the University of Sheffield’s advanced manufacturing research centre, with Boeing, to research and potentially to manufacture ultra-lightweight materials for planes. If not, would he like to visit Sheffield to meet
the relevant parties and better inform himself of a development that could be really exciting not just for Sheffield, but for the whole UK?

I am sure that the aviation Minister in the Lords will be interested. I certainly have an interest, as the former aviation Minister at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy who was responsible for the Aerospace Technology Institute. Let me assure the hon. Gentleman of my interest in the matter, and let us take it up further outside the House.

The Ministry of Defence and Boeing Defence UK have reached a negotiated agreement on the revised E-7 Wedgetail acquisition programme. The work necessary to finalise the documentation for the associated contract amendment is well-advanced and it is anticipated that this process will be completed soon.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a formal contract has been signed with Boeing for three E-7 Wedgetail.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a formal contract has been signed with Boeing for three E-7 Wedgetail.
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.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much has been spent on support of the P-8 Force with Boeing since the aircraft arrived at RAF Lossiemouth.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much has been spent on support of the P-8 Force with Boeing since the aircraft arrived at RAF Lossiemouth.
Since the Royal Air Force Poseidon fleet began operating from RAF Lossiemouth in October 2020, the cost of support through arrangements with Boeing has been £44.586 million up to 17 December 2021, which is the latest date for which verified figures are available.
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.
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.
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.
