Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what impact they anticipate on the operations and value of the Defence Support Group as a result of overseas assembly of and support for the Scout SV vehicle.

There will not be an impact on the operations and value of the Defence Support Group (DSG). It was not assumed that DSG would be involved in the assembly of the Scout Specialist Vehicle, and DSG will be able to bid for the future support contract when it is competed.
