Mr. Denzil Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what further action is required to achieve the intended enhancement of the armoured capability of the British Army of the Rhine.

In addition to the formation of a 12th Armoured Regiment, the introduction of the Challenger tank into BAOR is well under way, and progress is being made on further improvements to our main battle tank fleet.
