Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of increasing the number of main battle tanks in the Army.
This question was answered on 14th March 2022
As announced by Secretary of State for Defence in 2021, Future Soldier is about facing up to future threats by creating an Army that is more integrated, active and lethal. The operational analysis from Northern Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh that informed the Integrated Review and Future Soldier has been broadly matched by the performance of armour in Ukraine. Nonetheless, we continue to watch the threat and will make policy accordingly.
