HC Deb 04 November 1996 vol 284 c319W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list all faults reported for the last two years to Tornado aircraft, indicating in each case the length of waiting time for repairs. [1153]

Mr. Soames

As with any other of the world's large military aircraft fleets, the number of faults found on Tornado aircraft runs into thousands each month, the vast majority of them trivial. The information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
