To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much his Department has spent on researching enhanced blast munitions; what orders have been made for them; and what plans there are for future procurement of the munitions. (152215)

[pursuant to the reply, 26 July 2007, Official Report, c. 1243W]: The final sentence my answer should have read as:

We have, in addition, procured a small number of weapons that use enhanced blast technology, the details of which I am withholding because their disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the armed forces. There are currently no firm plans for the further procurement of enhanced blast munitions, other than those that I have described above.
