Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential capability of the proposed Lockheed Martin F-55.
The Strategic Defence Review set out that Typhoon will be replaced by a sixth-generation jet, to sustain UK interests in this specialist sector and exploit emerging technology through partnerships such as the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). We will develop a new Defence Investment Plan to take onboard the Review's vision and recommendations and turn them into a delivery plan.
