Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what his latest estimate is of when the Eurofighter will be ready for operational use by the Royal Air Force. [83905]

We expect Eurofighter, which has been re-designated Typhoon, to be available for operational deployment in the second half of this decade.
