Armed Forces: Body Armour
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to develop reduced threat level hard body armour plates.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Ministry of Defence will deliver a Personal Hard Armour Framework (PHA-F). This framework will enable the inclusion of emerging technologies and future requirements. Reduced threat level hard body armour plates could therefore be considered in the future under PHA-F.
