Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a full Ministry of Defence’s Combined Operational Effectiveness Investment Appraisal was conducted on the decision to retire the Hercules C130 planes in 2023 before the Defence Command Paper was published in March 2021.
This question was answered on 22nd May 2023
A variety of evidence, including risk and operational impacts, was considered with the decision to retire C-130 aircraft in 2023. This built on the original investment decision and evidence to replace C130 with A400M.
