Military Vehicles

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what vehicles are provided for Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel on active service in Iraq.
Answer

We currently use three similar types of Explosive Ordnance Disposal vehicle on Operation TELIC. However, the disclosure of any further detail would reveal the strength and capability of UK forces operating in Iraq, which could have a bearing on our operational security, thereby placing our servicemen and women in additional unnecessary danger or potential harm.
