Motion text

That this House notes with concern the decision taken by the Bush Administration to withhold from the UK access to top-secret stealth technology in the new F-35 joint strike fighter; further notes the decision taken by George Bush to cancel plans for a second engine which was to be jointly built by Rolls-Royce and GE; supports the statement made by Lord Drayson, Minister for Defence Procurement, that the UK would not buy the 150 aircraft it currently plans to order unless technology transfer takes place; and calls on the Government to ensure that it continues to place the interests of the UK aerospace sector at the forefront of its negotiations with the US Administration.
