To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the £271 million Wildcat Helicopter support deal which sustains 500 jobs will include the highly skilled workforce of GKN.

18 January 2017
The support deal will sustain approximately 500 industry jobs, mainly in the south west of England. The prime contract is with Leonardo Helicopters and it is for them to determine whether sub-contracts are necessary to discharge their contractual commitments. The Ministry of Defence does not have any direct contracts with GKN.
