EDM number 505 in 2009-10, proposed by Doug Naysmith on 16/12/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Defence equipment and procurement.
That this House welcomes the successful completion of the first flight of the Airbus Military A400M transporter; notes that Britain has ordered 25 A400Ms to provide the Armed Forces with vital and much needed strategic airlift capability; further notes that the A400M is suitable for a variety of military and humanitarian missions because it can transport heavy payloads over long distances and land on makeshift runways in hostile environments while also supporting interoperability between different Armed Forces, making it ideal for today's joint operations; and calls on the Government to congratulate all those involved in the programme, in particular employees of Airbus in the UK who are responsible for the design and manufacture of the A400M's wings.
This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
