To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's press release entitled UK to develop new deep strike ballistic missile for Ukraine, published on 19 January 2026, whether he plans to hold discussions with the Chief of the Air Staff on the acceleration of procurement of the Eurofighter Common Radar System Mk2 Radar.

The Chief of the Air Staff continually monitors the timelines for all Air Programmes in coordination with each Programmes' Senior Responsible Owner. This includes any opportunities to accelerate procurement in line with Departmental priorities and international collaboration.
