The Ministry of Defence was contacted by the Government of a European nation in 2017 with regards to the availability of RAF Tranche 1 twin-seat aircraft as part of a study they were undertaking into their future air defence requirements. No other discussions have taken place with foreign Governments with regards to the sale of the RAF's Typhoon Tranche 1 fleet. I am withholding information concerning the nation in question as its disclosure would or would be likely to prejudice relations between the United Kingdom and another State.
