Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of procuring the Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft Armoured Recovery Module for Boxer.

The Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft Armoured Recovery Module was assessed as an option for a Boxer repair and recovery capability. The Department concluded that a generic Heavy Wheeled Recovery Vehicle would provide greater utility and affordability across the force structure, alongside other assets used to support Boxer and other vehicle fleets.
