Challenger Tanks

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Defence Investment Plan, published on 30 June 2026, paragraph 62, what the breakdown is of the £1.1 billion allocated to Challenger 3.

Answer

The £1.1 billion allocation identified in the Defence Investment Plan supports delivery of the Challenger 3 programme. A detailed breakdown of individual contracts and associated costs is commercially sensitive, and disclosure would prejudice the commercial interests of the Department and its suppliers.
