Boxer Vehicles: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Boxer armoured vehicles he plans to procure; and whether this figure has changed since 5 July 2024.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Trinity House Agreement, a defence cooperation agreement between the UK and Germany, was signed in October 2024 and aims to deepen defence cooperation across all domains. As a direct consequence of this agreement, 60% of the original production contract for Boxer is planned to come from the UK, with the additional 40% of production continuing to come from Germany. The first UK manufactured BOXER platform was unveiled at the International Armoured Vehicle conference in January 2025.
Whilst the Army’s modernisation will continue over the next decade with a programme of investment worth billions of pounds, future capability development priorities will be guided by the Strategic Defence Review.
Current plans see Defence procuring 623 BOXER vehicles, this has not changed since July 2024.
