Asked by:
Mr Mark Francois (Conservative)

Answer

As stated in my answer to the hon. Member for Huntington on 22 December 2025 to Question 99970, good progress is being made on the Demonstration phase trials. Whilst the programme has been impacted by some delays within the supply chain, these trials will prove vehicle performance before manufacture timing is confirmed.
