The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, does it remain the case that the 1st Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, is still planned to be the first Boxer unit.

Answered by Luke Pollard

I am delighted that the 1st Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers has already received the Boxer Mechanised Infantry Vehicle and was the first Army unit to do so, in April 2026.
