Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what were the total constructive losses to his Department for the reduction in the numbers of the Sentry aircraft fleet in 2012-13.
The Ministry of Defence Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14 reported a total constructive loss of £64,050,000 resulting from a reduction in the number of Sentry aircraft as an advance notification from 2012/13. This related to a single aircraft, which was subsequently utilised for ground-based training and project purposes. As such, it was deemed to no longer qualify as a constructive loss but as an impairment.
