EUROPEAN FIGHTER AIRCRAFT

12th October 2016

Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans his Department has for developing for a crewed successor to Typhoon.

Harriett Baldwin, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister for Defence Procurement: The Strategic Defence and Security Review of 2015 announced the out of service date for the Typhoon fleet would be extended to 2040. The Ministry of Defence will consider options to replace the capability closer to that date but so far no decision has been made.
