Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what are the expected timelines of the Land Mobility Programme.

The Land Mobility Programme (LMP) is a 20-year, pan-Defence programme to deliver digitally enabled, adaptable utility and protected mobility vehicles to the Joint Force. LMP comprises of three discrete sub-programmes: Heavy Protected Mobility (HPM), Light Protected Mobility (Lt PM) and Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV).

Each sub-programme is subject to separate investment approvals. Both HPM and Lt PM are in their Concept Phases, with timelines yet to be finalised. LMV is in its Assessment Phase with a competition due to start this year. Delivery of the first LMV platforms is anticipated from 2028, subject to successful competition and Departmental approvals.
