§ Q44. Mr. Michael Morrisasked the Prime Minister if she will review the aircraft that currently make up the Queen's Flight, with a view to their replacement.
§ The Prime MinisterI have recently reviewed with the Ministers concerned the possibility of buying new aircraft for the Queen's Flight. We reluctantly came to the conclusion that re-equipment should be deferred for the time being. The aircraft of the Queen's Flight have excellent safety records and many years of useful life ahead of them.
