Minesweepers: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on implementing the Mine Hunting Capability Programme.

These autonomous mine hunting systems are in regular use by the Mine Threat Exploitation Group, both for training and operations.
