Armoured Fighting Vehicles: Peace Keeping Operations

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many instances of armoured vehicle breakdown there have been in (a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan in the last six months, broken down by vehicle type.
Answer

[holding answer 16 May 2007]: Information is not recorded in this format. Records of vehicle availability are collated to allow for more efficient fleet management. This provides a clearer picture for commanders on the ground of the assets at their disposal. I am withholding further details as its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness and security of our armed forces.
