asked the Secretary of State for Defence what military aircraft and other military equipment originally supplied to Jordan is known to have been subsequently passed on or sold to Oman; and whether it is Government policy to supply British pilots or other military personnel to operate this equipment.

Thirty-one Hunter aircraft are known to have been passed to the Sultanate of Oman by the Government of Jordan. The Oman Government have asked for assistance with the introduction into service of these aircraft, and this request is under consideration.
