Ajax Vehicles: Health and Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Written Ministerial Statement on Ajax, published on 22 January 2026, whether he will publish the Ministerial-led review into the quality of advice to Ministers, senior officials and military leadership across the MoD.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Army safety investigation is ongoing and initial findings are expected soon. As advised in recent Written Statement, in addition to the two safety investigations, a panel of experts has been established with experience of noise and vibration to bring knowledge and challenge to this work. That panel consists of a range of experts from academia, maritime, aviation, science and medical and will also inform on human factors. I refer the hon. Member to Question 102949, which remains extant.
Whilst the Army Safety Investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to release the contents of any of the reviews related to Ajax. I have, however, undertaken to keep this House updated on the Ajax programme and will continue to do so.
