Defence Equipment: Decommissioning

Asked by Ben Obese-JectyConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 29 April 2025UIN 46205

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish a list of the (a) vehicles and (b) armour that have been identified for disposal in (i) 2025-26, (ii) 2026-27 and (iii) 2027-28.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Future disposals cannot currently be disclosed, since they will be subject to the outcome of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR). It would therefore be inappropriate to comment until the SDR has reported and decisions have been made.
