To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much the Government has received from foreign military sales of F-35s.

Answer

Luke Pollard
Partner Nations within the F-35 programme who contribute to F-35 development can recoup elements of those development costs from foreign military sales of the F-35. To date this has resulted in $94.83 million in recoupment costs for the Department.
