John Woodcock – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Woodcock on 2016-04-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the value of (a) UK and (b) foreign munitions and sonobuoys purchased for the UK’s P-8A aircraft over the life of that aircraft by (i) year, (ii) country of manufacture and (iii) name.

Mr Philip Dunne

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 21 December 2015 to Question 19776 to the hon. Member for Garston and Halewood (Maria Eagle).

The Ministry of Defence has not yet made a final decision on the method for contracting for delivery of the P8-A Poseiden aircraft to the UK. Therefore the information requested is yet to be determined.
