Asked by: Lord Blencathra (Conservative - Life peer) Friday 23rd January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the difficulties posed by soldiers in the same platoon using different calibre weapons and ammunition. Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) All procurement projects look at interoperability as part of the scoping requirements. The British Army currently operates different calibre weapons within the platoon; this provides a tactical advantage in ensuring the correct weapon is available to meet requirements, whilst also balancing other factors such as logistic and human considerations. |
