Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the decision to order Scout SV has been brought forward from after May 2015.
The Scout Specialist Vehicle programme was subject to a number of assurance reviews and found to have reached a level of maturity sufficient to commit to a production contract. Sub-system critical design reviews are progressing ahead of the system level critical design review, which is contracted to be completed in March 2015.
