Mr. Swayne: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment has been made of the requirement for Personal Role Radios in Iraq. [154015] Mr. Ingram: Personal Role Radio (PRR) is a short- range communications system designed to provide connectivity at the tactical level within small military teams, such as infantry sections. It is therefore ideal for use in Iraq and has been used extensively by UK forces since the commencement of operations. Approximately 3,500 Personal Role Radios are currently in use with British forces in Iraq.
