(asked on 27th February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Royal Air Force personnel are on secondment to BAE Systems in Saudi Arabia; what the role of such personnel is; and what the cost to the public purse of that secondment is.
This question was answered on 2nd March 2017
As at 28 February 2017 the total number of RAF personnel on secondment with BAE Systems in Saudi Arabia is 22. These personnel are in aircraft engineering support and aircrew instructor training roles.
RAF seconded personnel are paid directly by BAE Systems therefore there is no cost to the public purse.
