Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to meet his Belgian counterpart to discuss the procurement of F-35 Joint Striker Fighters by that country.
The Joint Strike Fighter is a collaborative Programme, and the UK is one of nine Partner Nations. The US Government leads on all aspects of Joint Strike Fighter Foreign Military Sales. The UK has no plans to discuss the procurement of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter with Belgium.
