HC Deb 23 May 2003 vol 406 cc41-2W
Mr. Liddell-Grainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what continuing works will be carried out on the SA80 following the end of the conflict in Iraq. [115599]

Mr. Ingram

The phased introduction of the modified SA80 weapon system—the SA80 A2—will continue until the completion of the programme in 2006. Minor improvements to the weapon and its ancillaries, such as the cleaning kit, are being trialled and will be taken forward as necessary.
