Boxer Vehicles: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the number of jobs that will be supported by the Boxer contract during this Parliament.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Mechanised Infantry (BOXER) programme supports a network of over 100 UK suppliers. It has created approximately 1,000 direct British jobs and sustains three times as many.
60% by value of the original BOXER production contract is planned to come from the UK.
