Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department's planning assumptions are on which aircraft delivery platform will be used to house the Brimstone Launch missile system once the No 2 Tornado squadron has been disbanded in April 2016 until the fitting of Brimstone to the Typhoon aircraft has been completed.
The Brimstone weapon will continue to be operated by the Tornado aircraft until the platform retires in 2019.
