Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the objectives are of his Department’s Prosperity Framework agreement with (a) Boeing and (b) Lockheed Martin.
The Prosperity Frameworks between the Government and Boeing and Lockheed Martin seek to strengthen the UK's engagement with two of the world's largest aerospace and defence manufactures and to create new opportunities for UK supply companies to win work on their current and future major programmes.
They also represent a shared ambition with each of these companies to expand their footprints in the UK and increase their UK research and development.
