Our refreshed Defence Industrial Policy, published in December 2017, sets out our commitment to encouraging a thriving and globally competitive UK defence sector as an integral part of the Government's overall Industrial Strategy.

On 14 March 2019 we provided an update to Parliament on the Defence Prosperity Programme (HCWS1411); this programme includes a specific strand of work aimed at sustaining an internationally competitive and productive Defence sector for the UK.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 03/07/2019 14:33:57 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what requirements for troops to parachute from the A400M were included in the original specification for that aircraft; whether the A400M has been cleared to deliver that capability; on how many occasions the A400M has delivered that capability; and what assessment she has made of potential technical issues that would prevent the parachuting of troops from the A400M.

tabling member printed	Mr Mark Francois
uin	269012
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2019 answer text <p>The original A400M specification included the requirements to dispatch troops via static line at low and high altitude and freefall from high altitude from both the rear parachute side doors and cargo ramp. Trials have demonstrated that A400M can safely dispatch parachutists via the cargo ramp and using a single side door. At this time that capability has not been used by the UK. Airbus have demonstrated a technical solution to the well-publicised technical challenges of dispatching parachutists simultaneously from both side doors, which is under-going evaluation through the ongoing contracted Airbus development programme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 01/07/2019 16:04:22 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
