Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what investment his Department has made in armoured vehicle capability for the Army.

The core armoured vehicle programme budget for the next 10 years is £6.7 billion. This includes the Warrior Upgrade, a new Armoured Utility Vehicle, improvements to the Challenger 2 Tank and the Scout. The latter £3.5 billion order is the biggest Army order in 30 years and will safeguard at least 1,300 jobs across the UK.
