To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 13 July 2026, to question 16066 on F-35 Aircraft: Procurement, over how many years does he anticipate delivery of the next tranche of F-35 aircraft to take.

I refer the hon. Member to the previous answer to Question 16066 which remains extant. The exact delivery profile is subject to negotiation between the UK and multinational Joint Program Office.
