Boxer Vehicles: Supply Chains
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of the supply chain for the Boxer programme is based in the (a) UK and (b) North East.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Boxer programme is planned to deliver 60% by value of the original production contract from the UK.
The long-term support solution for the programme is still under development but will look to build on the hundreds of UK jobs that have already been protected during the manufacture of the platform. It is not yet known what proportion of that supply chain will be based in the UK and North East.
