To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 4 June 2021, to question 10208 on Boxer Vehicles: Procurement, if he can provide an updated breakdown of the 623 Boxer by a) MIV variant, b) Build Configuration and c) role, as at today.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 4 June 2021, to question 10208 on Boxer Vehicles: Procurement, if he can provide an updated breakdown of the 623 Boxer by a) MIV variant, b) Build Configuration and c) role, as at today.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 18 December 2025 to Question 100025, which set out the number of Mechanised Infantry Vehicle (MIV) Boxers contracted for by variant. This information remains extant. As the Boxer programme has developed, build configuration and variant have become effectively interchangeable, with all 623 MIV Boxer vehicles being delivered to a common build standard. Consequently, a separate breakdown by build configuration is no longer relevant.
The Department keeps under review its approach to the disclosure of information, taking account of a range of factors. An updated breakdown by role could pose a risk to operational security and, therefore, I am unable to provide this information.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the Government's response to the Competition and Markets Authority's heating oil market study, what the terms of reference are for the Government's commitment to look at the relevant rules and industry guidance in relation to...
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the Government's response to the Competition and Markets Authority's heating oil market study, what the terms of reference are for the Government's commitment to look at the relevant rules and industry guidance in relation to...
The government has confirmed that it plans to strengthen regulations in the market for the first time, making sure households who use heating oil are treated fairly.
Next steps will include extensive stakeholder engagement. We will work with those recommended by the CMA in their final report, including the Scottish Government and Northern Irish Executive (where heating oil and consumer protection and advocacy is either fully or partially devolved), and relevant regulators including Ofgem and the Utility Regulator.
We’ll also work with industry and consumer bodies such as, but not limited to, UKIFDA and the Northern Ireland Oil Federation. This engagement will help build the evidence base needed to develop the right options for stronger regulations.
This will take time, and it’s important we get it right, to ensure the best outcomes for consumers.
In the meantime, we will also work across relevant government departments and with industry to strengthen consumer protection measures in the Codes of Conduct, and consider minimum order volumes, access to smaller deliveries and payment plans as well as whether further action is needed to support price transparency. We will look at whether any of the existing rules and guidance on minimum order volumes is unnecessarily restricting consumers’ options, and assess the coverage, accessibility and reliance of existing price transparency provisions. This will determine whether, and what, government intervention is required.
We will set out more detail on the approach to taking forward the recommendations as soon as possible.
To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of chicken procured for Government contracts was produced in the UK in the last year for which figures are available.
To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of chicken procured for Government contracts was produced in the UK in the last year for which figures are available.
Public bodies are not required to report on the origin of the food they procure and information on the origin and sustainability of food in government supply chains is limited. Defra is therefore collecting new data to understand the extent to which government and other public sector settings are serving food from local and sustainable sources and what further action is needed. The department expects this work to be completed by Summer 2027.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to reduce the public spend in offshore companies.
The government is ensuring that public procurement delivers the best value for taxpayers by protecting national security, enhancing supply chain resilience across critical sectors, and supporting businesses, growth and innovation. Changes, including those to the Social Value model announced by the government in August 2026, will ensure that suppliers will be assessed by their commitment to back British jobs, skills and opportunities, to deliver benefits for communities across the UK.
As set out in Managing Public Money, central government bodies should avoid contractors using offshore jurisdictions, consistent with international obligations and the government’s stated objectives on tax transparency and openness.

The Advanced Manufacturing sector is at the forefront of tackling the challenges of our era, from decarbonisation to harnessing AI, which is why we want to ensure the sector is primed to seize new commercial opportunities, including in dual civil/military application technologies.
The Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry recently met with the Welsh Government Ministers to discuss the ethical framework and to underline the important role that the Welsh defence industry plays in the defence of the UK.
The Government is keen to ensure that Wales remains competitive and attractive to inward investment, and Government officials are working closely with Welsh Government to understand how the ethical framework will be implemented.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how asymmetric capability development is being balanced against traditional platform-heavy procurement.
The Defence Investment Plan (DIP) supports the rapid introduction of new capabilities and the integration of advanced and emerging technologies across the force. Capability choices are being informed by lessons from recent and ongoing conflicts, and via Force Testing activity, with investment focused on delivering a more lethal and digitally enabled Integrated Force, optimised for warfighting in the Euro-Atlantic.
The DIP sets out how the Integrated Force will draw on a more varied mix of equipment and weapons, combining advanced platforms and precision weapons with autonomous technologies and lower-cost, expendable effectors. This approach will increase the mass, lethality and resilience of the Integrated Force, while ensuring that investment remains threat-led, affordable and aligned with NATO requirements.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what reforms are being made to procurement pathways to accelerate the delivery of sovereign capabilities.
The Department is using the flexibilities of the Procurement Act 2023 to support trusted supply chains, including British-based suppliers, where necessary to safeguard sovereign capability.

To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the rolling stock and infrastructure strategy, published on 28 September, whether the procurement process for rolling stock and services will be open to non-UK companies to tender and whether the appraisals of tenders submitted will comply with competition law.
The Rolling Stock and Infrastructure Strategy does not alter the legal framework governing procurement or competition. Rolling stock and rail service procurements will continue to be conducted in accordance with the relevant procurement legislation and other applicable legal requirements, including non-discrimination against treaty state suppliers, with the aim of securing the best value for passengers and taxpayers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of progress made on reform to defence procurement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of progress made on reform to defence procurement.
We inherited a procurement system that was slow, costly and unsuited to the challenges we now face as a nation. The Government set out reforms to procurement in the Strategic Defence Review and the Defence Industrial Strategy, and these are being implemented currently. We are reforming Defence acquisition to deliver capability faster, secure better value for money and strengthen the UK defence industrial base. The Department continues to make progress, from introducing the simpler and a more flexible procurement framework under the Procurement Act 2023, embedding Procurement Segmentation in plans and portfolios, issuing tailored guidance, launching demonstrator projects and introducing seven Commercial Pathways. We continue to test and measure these reforms, support live procurements, and expand adoption across Defence.
