§ 29. Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the replacement costs of all aircraft which have crashed in the United Kingdom in low-flying exercises over the last 10 years and the budget allocation to cover aircraft losses in future years.
§ Mr. FreemanIt is not now our practice to publish the unit production—and hence replacement—cost of individual aircraft. Neither is it our practice to disclose details of future budgetary allocations for them.
