Alison Seabeck – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alison Seabeck on 2014-04-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the number of armoured fighting vehicles which will be (a) returned to the UK, (d) destroyed or (c) sold by the time of the main withdrawal from Afghanistan; and what the costs associated with each of those categories are to date.

Mr Mark Francois

All armoured fighting vehicles deployed to Afghanistan will be returned to the UK. None of these have been destroyed and none are currently due to be sold.

The information on costs associated with this activity cannot be readily broken out from the wider costs of all equipment and personnel recovery.
