Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the drawdown of C-130J fleet will begin; and how many C-130J aircraft will be kept for Special Forces operations.
The drawdown of the C-130J fleet will begin when there are sufficient A400M Atlas in service to ensure the correct balance of capability and affordability within the Tactical Air Mobility Fleet. It is the policy of the Government not to comment on Special Forces matters.
