uin	HL4599
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2023 answer text <p>No Squadrons, either fixed wing or rotary wing, are permanently assigned. It remains the case that each Queen Elizabeth-class carrier has been designed for the flexible usage necessary in a modern defence capability, including transporting a mix of fixed-wing and rotary aircraft.
