Written question asked by Ann Winterton (Conservative) on Thursday, 6 November 2008, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 10 November 2008. It was answered by Lord Davies of Stamford (Labour) on Thursday, 13 November 2008 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Armoured Fighting Vehicles

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what types of vehicles are being considered to fulfill the Wolfhound designation; and whether the preference will be given to vehicles offering the greatest (a) level of protection and (b) load capacity.
Answer

As contract negotiations for the fulfilment of the Wolfhound designation are continuing, it is too early to confirm vehicle types. There are, however, a number of key user requirements that define the overall capability; the level of protection and load capacity are not exclusive requirements. I am able to confirm, however, that Wolfhound will have the highest levels of mine blast protection available.
