Why add LAV 6 when Britain is buying Boxer?

Why would Britain buy LAV 6 rather than continue with Boxer?

The reply sees little reason to add LAV 6 when Boxer is already being bought, and criticizes the costs of interrupted Boxer participation.

A suggestion to buy LAV 6 receives the answer that Britain is already procuring Boxer. Clarke uses Boxer to criticize leaving and later returning to a multinational vehicle program. In his account, those decisions led to additional licensing and construction costs. He argues that continued participation would have preserved a stronger domestic production position. The point concerns continuity in a chosen program, rather than a technical contest between the two vehicles.
