Continuous At-Sea Deterrent

Written Question
Air Force: Publicity
Wednesday 31st October 2018

Asked by: Michael Fallon (Conservative - Sevenoaks)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the absence of the Royal Air Force aerobatic team during part of the 2019 UK air display season, what steps his Department is taking to promote the Royal Air Force to a domestic audience in the next calendar year.

Answered by Tobias Ellwood

The tour of North America in 2019 by the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team is a large-scale tour which will support the UK prosperity agenda through the GREAT Britain campaign. The RAF will continue to engage with the domestic audience in the air and on the ground, and will build on the success of the RAF 100 campaign. In particular, other air display assets including Typhoon, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Falcons Parachute Team will be available to support a variety of events and their participation will be carefully prioritised to deliver maximum impact.

Armed Forces (Flexible Working) Bill [Lords]

"It is definitely worth pursuing, but we need then to focus particularly on women who have left the armed forces and look at further ways of encouraging them to rejoin at a later stage of their lives or careers.

Secondly, women and recruits from the black and ethnic minorities still …..."
