Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the latest cost of a Jaguar aircraft in each of the specifications being supplied to the services.

No new Jaguars have been delivered to the RAF since 1978 but the cost adjusted to current prices would be between £5.5 million and £6 million depending on variant.
