Written question asked by James Cartlidge (Conservative) on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 25 June 2026. It was answered by Luke Pollard (Labour) on Tuesday, 30 June 2026 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Challenger Tanks: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 22 June to Question 10199 on Challenger Tanks: Procurement, what information his Department holds on the supply chain delays.
- Answer
-
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to Question 73614, which remains extant. The Department holds detailed programme and supplier performance data for the Challenger 3 programme, including the supply chain. Delays have affected the development and delivery of hardware and software required for the programme’s Demonstration Phase, and these are being closely managed with the Prime Contractor. It would be inappropriate for me to provide information on individual suppliers as this information is considered commercially sensitive.
