Defence: Procurement

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many improvised explosive device jammers have been purchased by his Department in each year since 2003.
Answer

I can confirm that the MOD has the capability to counter radio controlled improvised explosive devices and that it is being used in theatres of operation. I am withholding details about the numbers of such equipment purchased as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the armed forces.
