Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Mr. Jenkin
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for Urgent Operational Requirements for tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. [113957]

Mr. Ingram
There are currently no plans to acquire tactical UAVs through the Urgent Operational Requirements' (UOR) process. In line with normal practice, operational requirements are kept under review and the UOR procedure will be used if such a need is identified to enhance our surveillance and reconnaissance capability.
