Lord Vivian

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the planned date for replacing B vehicles in Royal Armoured Corps regiments and infantry battalions. [HL3276]

Lord Bach

There are a number of programmes that will introduce replacements for operational combat support vehicles (B vehicles) in Royal Armoured Corps regiments and the infantry battalions. The in-service dates for these fleets vary from 2004 to 2009, with deliveries in each continuing for a number of years thereafter.
