Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his letter of 7 December 2020, reference MSU/4/6/2/1/ap, what progress has been made on the acquisition of new harnesses, life jackets and life rafts which would enable the Texan aircraft to operate over seas; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 28 January 2020 to question 142802.
