Outstanding Equipment Orders

Volume 454: debated on Wednesday 6 December 2006

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which equipment orders are outstanding for UK forces in (a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan; and when the orders will be delivered. (106215)

As the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan are still ongoing, much information regarding operational equipment remains sensitive, and its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the security of our armed forces.

The equipment on order for UK forces in Iraq and Afghanistan that is not operationally sensitive covers such a wide range of areas that the information requested is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
