The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of adopting the Sig Sauer XM250 as a potential replacement for the L7A2.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The L7A2 General Purpose machine Gun (GPMG) is expected to be replaced under Project CAIRNS. Project CAIRNS is currently a pre-concept project and as such formal consideration of systems, including the Sig Sauer XM250, has not yet taken place.
