Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the decision to award the Saab Bofors
Dynamics team the preferred supplier status for the NLAW programme. [59653]
Dr. Moonie: Saab Bofors Dynamics Ltd (SBD) was selected as the preferred bidder for the armed forces Next Generation Light
Anti-Armour Weapons (NLAW) following a competition. Selection of the Saab weapon, known as MBT-LAW, presents an excellent
opportunity for United Kingdom industry and is expected to create or sustain more than 500 jobs across the United Kingdom. The
weapon also has significant export potential.
The programme is being undertaken in collaboration with the Kingdom of Sweden, enhancing our ties with an EU partner. A memorandum
of understanding between our two Governments for the development and production of MBT-LAW is due to be signed shortly.
This competition has been an excellent example of smart acquisition and demonstrates how an effective capability can be achieved at
affordable cost.
