Combat Air Strategy

Madeleine Moon Excerpts

Tuesday 17th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mrs Madeleine Moon (Bridgend) (Lab)]

I welcome the statement and the combat air strategy, but I say to the Secretary of State that it is deeply worrying how often we have gone to America to buy our fighters. Will we be looking to British industry to provide the AWACS aircraft, because these advance warning aircraft should be British-made and British-built?

[Gavin Williamson]

We always look at how we can do the very best for delivering for British industry, and at how to make sure that we have the capabilities that the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the British Army need to do their job.
