Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to dispose of the SA80 family of weapons after they are replaced by a new individual weapon via Project Grayburn.

Project GRAYBURN is currently in the concept phase with the aim of identifying and understanding requirements. As part of this phase, a disposal plan is under consideration. Due to the current phase of the project and commercial sensitivities, I am unable to provide further detail at this stage.
