The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on the Boxer programme.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The Mechanised Infantry (Boxer) programme has made significant progress with all five standalone prototypes having been delivered and trials performing well. Support and training plans are also well underway.

24 of 623 series production vehicles have now been contractually delivered to MOD. Over 100 are in production across Germany and UK factories with the first UK made Boxer unveiled in January, a major milestone for our Land Industrial Strategy. We now expect a steady progression of vehicles month on month, completing industry production, test and acceptance by MOD and delivery into Field Army users for training to ramp up this year.
