Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the cost of repainting RAF Voyager; and which Department will fund it.
The total forecast cost for completing the repaint of the RAF Voyager VIP aircraft (including related costs) is approximately £900,000. The project will be carried out by Marshall Aerospace Defence Group (MADG) in Cambridge.
The decision to repaint the VIP Voyager - and approval of a design that best projected Global Britain - was taken on a cross-Government basis, to be funded by the Ministry of Defence.
