Commons ChamberThere is the community covenant, but I would be more than happy to make a phone call if it might help in any way.
I am sure the Secretary of State is concerned, as are many people, about the new statistics on near air misses involving fast jets. The Ministry of Defence committed in 1998 to installing collision warning systems on Tornado aircraft, but it has not yet done so. Does the Secretary of State regret that? Will he also confirm that the Typhoon does not have a collision warning system installed? Are there plans to do so and when will that happen?
I am sure those four questions will be pithily replied to by the Secretary of State, who is dexterous in these matters.
