Ajax Vehicles: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, between what dates has the Ajax programme previously been paused and for what reasons.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Issues of noise and vibration were recognised in mid-2020, with a stop notice issued in June 2021. All dynamic movement and transition activity was halted whilst the programme underwent a significant reset. The Army resumed training on Ajax in 2023 and paused later again in 2025.
