Earlier this month, Britain said it would send 14 of its main battle tanks, along with additional artillery support, to Ukraine.
"The intention is that it will be at the end of March," he told parliament in response to a question asking when the tanks would arrive in Ukraine.
He said between now and then, Ukrainian forces would be trained intensively on how to operate and maintain the vehicles.
Other nations,including the United States and Germany, have also subsequently committed to supply tanks in moves hailed by Kyiv as a potential turning point in its battle to repel Russia's invasion.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius promised to supply Ukraine with German tanks Leopard 2 until the end of March.
At the same time, Polish Deputy Defence Minister Wojciech Skurkiewicz is convinced that Warsaw can transfer its own Leopard tanks to Ukraine within a few weeks.
