METEOR AND A400M

Early day motion 20, tabled 17 November 1999 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House welcomes the recent announcement that the European Meteor Team is to be partnered by Boeing in its attempt to provide a beyond visual range air-to-air missile to arm the Eurofighter; and looks to the Government for a commitment to the Meteor project and to the A400M military transport aircraft which would signal the Government's commitment to strengthening the European defence industry, proving valuable high-tech jobs in Britain and ensuring the UK's armed forces are adequately equipped for the 21st century.
