Sir Ian GilmoreTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence when was the last occasion on which a DROPS medium mobility vehicle overturned; what injuries were caused; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SainsburyOne of the DROPS medium mobility vehicles currently undergoing pre-production validation trials was involved in a minor incident on 17 June in which it fell on its side when negotiating a bend on the RARDE rough road test track. The military crew of the vehicle suffered cuts and abrasions which required out-patient hospital treatment.
