Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department has taken to develop buoyant body armour plates for use in maritime operations.

The Ministry of Defence will deliver a Personal Hard Armour Framework (PHA-F). This framework will enable the inclusion of emerging technologies and future requirements. Buoyant plates could, therefore, be considered in the future under PHA-F.
