question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 18 May 2021 to Question 1008 on Chinook Helicopters: Procurement, for what reason the UK workshare for every Chinook manufactured varies between three and six per cent.
tabling member constituency	North Durham
tabling member printed	Mr Kevan Jones
uin	10186
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2021 answer text <p>The Foreign Military Sale case for the acquisition of 14 Chinook H-47 Extended Range helicopters does not include firm costs for each UK sub-contractor in the wider US supply chain. The UK workshare for every Chinook manufactured is therefore estimated at between 3-6% of unit value. This will depend on the negotiated unit value for each discrete production lot (contract) and the supply chain costs prevalent at that time.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 09/06/2021 11:48:19 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
