To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 11 September 2018 to Question 169215 on Army: Vehicles, what recent progress has been made on package one of the Multi-Role Vehicle - Protected programme.

Our current planning assumption remains that we will procure the Joint Land Tactical Vehicle to meet the Army's requirement for a future protected multi-role vehicle. Funding has been set aside for this acquisition in the Department's Equipment Plan. The Ministry of Defence will make the final decision on how to proceed when our wider plans for Armed Forces modernisation are fully mature.
