answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>Protecting the UK border is, and always has been, of paramount importance to this Government. It has never been government practice, for reasons of national security, to comment on operational issues relating to border security.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government why they chose to implement an E-7 Wedgetail conversion programme to maintain the UK’s Airborne Early Warning and Control capability rather than procure new Boeing 737–700 AEW&C aircraft.

uin	HL16162
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>The E-7 Wedgetail is a military derivative based on the Boeing 737 NG civil aircraft and has always been produced by modifying that aircraft with a sophisticated radar and mission system suite along with other military systems. Wherever the E-7 is produced it involves the modification of the base aircraft and by undertaking this work at Marshall Aerospace and Defence in Cambridge we have ensured that several hundred highly-skilled jobs have been sustained in the United Kingdom.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 17/06/2019 15:42:08 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect the Boeing E-7 production line for the conversion of Boeing 737NG aircraft to come back into service.
tabling member printed	Lord Moonie
uin	HL16163
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2019 answer text <p>While the E-7 Wedgetail is a mature, proven technology, it is produced to order and there is not a constant production line for the aircraft. However, the production line for the base Boeing 737 NG aircraft is still fully operational and has confirmed orders that will see it continuing for several years to come. Work is currently underway to establish a line to undertake the conversion work of the base 737 NG into the E-7 Wedgetail at Marshall Defence and Aerospace in Cambridge in preparation for our first aircraft to enter the modification process in 2021.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 13/06/2019 15:10:27 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their latest estimate of the cost per flight hour of the F35-B aircraft; and what is their expected in service flight hours.
tabling member printed	Lord Moonie
uin	HL16030
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence does not yet have its own figure for the hourly flying cost for an F-35B Lightning as the aircraft has not been in service long enough to generate the required data. However, information would in any case be withheld as its disclosure would or would be likely to prejudice commercial interests.</p><p>The expected service life of an F-35B Lightning is 8,000 or more flying hours.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 11/06/2019 15:13:43 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
