Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether any (a) SA80 and (b) Glock 17 have been decommissioned in each year since 2015.
This question was answered on 29th November 2023
SA80 and Glock 17s are decommissioned each year due to damage and wear outside of safe limits.
The ongoing SA80 A2 to A3 upgrade programme is also resulting in some SA80 A2s being decommissioned.
