To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will take further steps to ensure that the projected multi-role armoured reconnaissance vehicle is delivered to the British Army on time. [47806]

We will continue to work with our French and German partners to make sure that the contract for development and initial production of the Multi-Role Armoured Vehicle, which is currently under negotiation with the preferred bidder, includes the conditions necessary to ensure that deliveries are made to meet the requirements of the British Army.
