Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Python Minefield Breaching Systems (a) are in storage, (b) are in use and (c) were donated to Ukraine between February 2022 and June 2023.

I am withholding the number of in-service Python as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the British Armed Forces.

I can confirm however that no Python Minefield Breaching Systems have been Granted in Kind to Ukraine by the UK.
