Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 25 April 2007.


Armed Forces: Equipment

Question
My Lords, we on these Benches also send our condolences to the families of the soldiers killed. The Secretary of State has said that the full complement of Bulldog armoured vehicles will be in Iraq by May. Is the Minister confident that this will happen?
Answer

Yes, my Lords, I am confident.The provision of protected patrol vehicles such as Bulldog, Mastiff and Vector is a top priority for me. The progress that we have made—for example, fielding Mastiff from start to finish in under six months—shows the priority that we give to this.
