Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what representations he has received from the German Government on the sale of Eurofighter Typhoons to Turkey.

We hold regular discussions with Germany on a range of issues related to equipment and joint programmes. The UK is supportive of the prospective sale of Eurofighter Typhoon to Turkey, as its next fighter platform. We continue to discuss our ongoing bid for Turkey to procure Typhoon with the other Eurofighter Partner Nations, including Germany.
