This is part of a budget of over £10 billion over the next 10 years. The amount that we ultimately invest will be determined by future decision points.</p><p> </p><p>The amount that our international partners are investing is for them to comment on. Nevertheless, all three countries are making significant investments in our combat air sectors to pursue shared goals for a combat air programme in a spirit of equal partnership: delivering vital military capability, supporting national sovereignty and freedom of action/modification, strengthening and sustaining our combat air sectors and supporting prosperity. We will determine the cost-sharing arrangements ahead of the next phase, based on joint assessment of costs and national budgets.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 30/03/2023 12:55:40 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk
