Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he plans to introduce a new variant of Next-generation Light Anti-tank Weapon.
The Ministry of Defence will ensure that our forces retain a lightweight shoulder launched weapon capable of engaging and defeating adversary main battle tanks.
The introduction of a new variant of the Next Generation Light Anti-Tank Weapon is dependent upon ongoing industry research and development.
We are unable to comment on industry’s developmental pathways due to commercial sensitivities.
