Boxer Vehicles: Procurement

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 7 March 2025 to Question 35428 on Boxer Vehicles: Procurement, what the delivery schedule is for Mechanised Infantry Vehicles (BOXER) during the period 2025 to 2027 by (a) month and (b) brigade.

Answered by Maria Eagle

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 (SDR).

There have been some ongoing delays to the contract delivery of BOXER vehicles due to global supply chain issues, following the war in Ukraine.

However, production vehicles are now arriving, and Defence expects industry to deliver up to 100 vehicles per year.

It would be inappropriate to comment on specific fielding plans and future force development until the SDR completes.
