Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Robert Syms (Conservative). It was answered by Philip Dunne (Conservative) on Monday, 16 December 2013 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Equipment Programme
- Question
-
Which Urgent Operational Requirements he plans to bring into the core Ministry of Defence equipment programme.
- Answer
-
The future of equipment bought through the urgent operational requirement process for operations in Afghanistan is currently being considered, with a departmental provision of £1.5 billion to support such equipment over the next 10 years. I can confirm to my hon. Friend that we have already decided to bring some 2,000 protected mobility vehicles into the core programme, including 71 Coyote, 325 Husky, 441 Jackal, 439 Mastiff, 169 Ridgeback and 60 Warthog vehicles. That represents a significant increase in the Army’s protected mobility capability, which I am sure he will welcome.
