Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, where depth maintenance will be carried out for the UK's 14 new extended-range Chinook helicopters.
The Investment Appraisals Committee did not previously reject the Ministry of Defence's proposals to purchase the 14 Chinook H-47 Extended-Range helicopters.
The maintenance philosophy for the new H-47(ER)s forms part of the programme delivery and is currently under review. A project is underway to determine the support solution and no decisions have yet been made.
