18. Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he intends publishing the RAF's operational requirement for the future large aircraft. [16813]

Mr. Spellar

I have no plans to publish the Staff Requirement (SR(A)435) for the Hercules Rolling Replacement Programmed (for which the Future Large Aircraft is a possible contender for the second tranche).
