Ajax Vehicles: Health and Safety

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what was the total number of remedial tasks conducted by each unit receiving Ajax vehicles in order to make them usable on exercise as of 31 December 2025.

Answered by Luke Pollard

All Army vehicles and equipment are subject to before use and routine maintenance schedules to ensure serviceability. Where faults are identified, these are rectified as part of business as usual activity.

Information relating to each remedial task carried out on Ajax platforms is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
