(2) what is his Department's policy towards the Franco-German vehicule blinde modulaire programme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

The Government are considering whether the Franco-German vehicule blinde modulaire/gepanzerte transport-kraftfahrzeuge programme offers the basis for trilateral collaboration in meeting our future requirement for armoured utility vehicles. No decisions have been made.
