Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he expects the MRV-P programme concept phase to be completed; whether funding for a demonstration has been approved; and what funds have been allocated for this purpose.

The Multi Role Vehicle (Protected) (MRV-P) Concept Phase will be completed by early spring 2015, at which point we expect the results to be submitted for Initial Gate Business Case consideration. Funds have been allocated for the delivery of the project.
