Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the contribution of the Chinook force for the wider capability of our Armed Forces; and what his plans are for the number of Chinook platforms.

The Chinook Force provides the UK Armed Forces with vital rotary wing heavy lift capability and supports a range of users and Defence outputs, from crisis response through to war fighting.
Regarding the number of Chinook platforms, I refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Norwich South (Mr Clive Lewis MP) on 11 November 2022 to Question 80797.
