Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on what date was the third batch of Boxer cancelled.

Through wider Defence planning and investment processes, including the Defence Investment Plan (DIP), a decision was reached to no longer pursue the planned Boxer Batch 3 capabilities through the Boxer programme. It has not been possible to identify a singular date for when this decision was taken as it was undertaken as part of the broader piece of work to deliver the DIP.
