Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reason track miles on the UK's MRAP fleet has been reduced this year.

In answer to the right hon. Member's question, the UK’s MRAP fleet is defined as those purchased as Urgent Operational Requirement’s for Operations. This consists of Mastiff, Ridgeback, Wolfhound (MRW), High Mobility Tactical Vehicle (Jackal and Coyote), Foxhound and Husky.

The actual track miles in 2021-2022 were higher than the actual track miles in 2020-2021 (in both cases actual was below forecast). The forecast for 2022-2023 is higher than the actual track miles in 2020-2021 notwithstanding the imminent out of service date for Husky.
