The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the previous reviews that will be assessed in the Ministerial led review into the Ajax programme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Ministerial Review has already begun. The review will be supported by an expert challenge panel including the Secretary of State's Strategic Advisor Malcolm Chalmers, and military personnel. I have committed to report progress on the Ajax investigation via a written statement before Christmas recess begins.
