Ajax Vehicles: Health and Safety

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people from the Queens Royal Hussars have been diagnosed as suffering from noise and vibration sickness following operating in an Ajax-family vehicle (a) before and (b) after 23 July 2025.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The safety of our personnel is of paramount importance. I updated the House on 22 January 2026 on those injured as a result of the two incidents since November 2025, which includes Exercise Titan Storm.

However, we do not routinely provide medical information down to unit level as this would risk identifying individual personnel.
