Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 27 February 2025 to Question 33149 on Armed Forces: Protective Clothing, what the difference in cost is between the Peltor ComTac XP/XPI and the legacy General Service Peltor Ear Muff.

I am withholding the information on the relative costs of the Peltor ComTac XP/XPI and the General Service Peltor Ear Muff, as releasing this information could prejudice commercial interests. Due to the differing capabilities which the Peltor ComTac XP/XPI and the General Service Peltor Ear Muff are required to provide, these items are also not directly comparable.
