Rifles: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress has been made on Project Cairns.
Answered by Luke Pollard
I refer the hon. Member to my answer to Question 72366, which remains extant:
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.
