Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the benefits of purchasing Boeing E7 Wedgetail aircraft.
The E-7 Wedgetail is the most capable airborne early warning and control platform in operation today and has the growth path to match the expected threat over the next 20 years. The Wedgetail is capable of providing situational awareness of the battlespace and this cutting-edge aircraft will be a force enabler for the UK Armed Forces, our allies and NATO.
