The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 25 March 2025 to Question 39639 on Warrior Vehicles, which of these units are due to transition to Boxer.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The Army is currently undergoing a combined programme of work to ensure our Land Forces will have the lethality, protection and mobility to fight and win against any adversary. The outcome of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) will guide future capability development priorities and it would therefore be inappropriate to comment until the SDR has reported and decisions have been made.

On current plans, the first Boxer unit will be the 1st Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
