Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of procuring a wider variety of Boxer armoured vehicle modules with turreted options similar to those employed by Lithuania and Australia.

The Army is conducting further ongoing operational analysis, lethality and survivability studies, which includes examining turreted options. As I wrote to my right hon. Friend recently , potential uplifts including new variants are being explored on a longer term and more strategic basis with allies and industry in line with the land industrial strategy. Any potential future upgrades would of course be threat informed and in line with how the Army will fight under Future Soldier.
