Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what total saving will result from the retirement of a third of the Challenger tank fleet as set out in the 2021 Defence Command Paper.
This question was answered on 15th June 2022
The Integrated Review Defence Command Paper is committed to modernising our fleet of Challenger 2 tanks to Challenger 3 standard.
At this stage, the future support costs for the transition of the Challenger 2 fleet into the enduring support costs for Challenger 3, including any disposal plans, are still being developed.
