Written Question
Typhoon Aircraft
Monday 15th December 2025

Asked by: Elaine Stewart (Labour - Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support Typhoon production.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

Defence is an engine for growth, as demonstrated by the recent deal this Government signed with Türkiye for 20 Eurofighter Typhoons, worth £8 billion to the UK economy and supporting a key NATO ally. This deal secures thousands of skilled jobs for the UK, including those workers in Warton and Samlesbury who I had the pleasure of meeting recently.
