Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the current location of the Heavy Equipment Transporters.
Mark Lancaster, Minister of State for the Armed Forces: The Army has a fleet of 91 Heavy Equipment Transporters. They are operated by military personnel of 19 Tank Transporter Squadron, Royal Logistic Corps, with our commercial partners and are based in Bulford.
The fleet is currently operating in the UK and Europe in support of UK and allied operations and exercises. We do not routinely comment on specific locations for individual capabilities as to do so would compromise operational security or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
