The Government has announced over £700 million for new armoured vehicles to support our Armed Forces. The package will pay for some 700 new armoured vehicles to further improve the safety and protection of troops on operations in Afghanistan. It includes £350 million for 400 brand new armoured support trucks which will be used to accompany patrols and carry essential supplies such as water and ammunition. This week's multi million pound package shows that we are responding to new and changing threats on the ground and will provide our serving personnel with the highest levels of protection and mobility that technology will allow.
