Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will provide a breakdown by vehicle type of the vehicles supported by the National Roadside Repair and Recovery Scheme in each year since 2015.

The National Roadside Repair and Recovery (NRRR) service covers all MOD owned and registered category A and B platforms. Category A is inclusive of wheeled and tracked armoured vehicles, while category B is inclusive of general logistic vehicles, such as cars, land rovers and logistics platforms.

For the annual cost of the NRRR between 2015 and 2023, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 16 October 2023 to Question 202849 to the hon. Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston (Mr Madders). The annual cost of the service for 2023/24 was £1,007,611.

The 2018-19 NRRR callout in Morocco was due to the breakdown of a land rover while on a training exercise.

Information on the number of annual callouts by UK region since 2015 is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
