Ajax Vehicles: Safety

Asked by Ben Obese-JectyConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 16 December 2025UIN 98213

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, by when does he expect the results of the a) army inquiry and b) safety investigation into the Ajax programme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

We will always put the safety of our personnel first; therefore, it is appropriate that the investigations are given adequate time to allow the underlying issues to be identified.

I will provide a written update to the House before the end of term.
