Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the New Medium Helicopter will be included in the specific single document of the Defence Investment Plan.

As confirmed to the House we will make a decision on New Medium Helicopter shortly. The Department is working flat out to deliver the Defence Investment Plan, which will be published as soon as possible. It is backed by the Government’s largest sustained increase in defence investment since the end of the Cold War, spending £270 billion on defence in this Parliament alone.
