Those engagements include a rigorous Holding to Account process at all levels. The programme deliberately selected Boxer as a proven Off-The-Shelf capability already in-service with allies to de-risk delivery. Training and support planning has started early through support of our international allies who have Boxer, and lessons from other programmes are being dynamically incorporated. Boxer currently remains on track to meet its IOC in 2025 within the full programme schedule, which included provision for risks and delays. We continue to keep progress against the schedule under review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 14/11/2023 14:13:49 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
