answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The RAF's P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft is produced by Boeing at its production facilities in Seattle and is based on the 737-Next Generation civil airliner, the supply chain for which includes a range of UK manufacturing companies. Boeing estimates that around 5% of every P-8 aircraft produced globally is UK content. UK produced components are used in all P-8 aircraft, not just those ordered for the RAF, meaning that UK industry and manufacturers are involved with, and benefit from, every P-8 aircraft produced, including the one hundred or so aircraft already delivered and in-service worldwide.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 21/10/2019 11:00:33 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
