answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2015 answer text <p>We do not recognise the stock number that my noble Friend has quoted. We believe he is referring to NATO Stock Number (NSN) 6210 99 881 5622 which is a light holder fitted to the driver's control panel in the Bulldog FV430 armoured troop carrier. The maximum wattage bulb that is cleared for use with this item is 2.5W.</p><p>The Defence Equipment &amp; Support Stock Control System contains an indicative price of £70.11 (VAT Ex) for this NSN and as at 7 December 2015 there were 175 in stock. Over the previous 36 months a total of 216 of these items have been issued.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 15/12/2015 16:48:35 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
