The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many statements of requirements have been made by (a) Defence Equipment & Support, (b) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and (c) the British Army on the Ajax programme since 2010.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The term ‘statements of requirements’ is not used by the Ajax programme and therefore it is not possible to answer the hon. Member’s question.
