The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Ares vehicles will be required by an infantry platoon in the armoured role.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Department does not release detailed information on its workforce requirements below top-level figures.

I hope that the hon. Gentleman will understand that I am withholding the information as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
