Ajax Vehicles: Procurement

Asked by James MacClearyLiberal DemocratMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 12 February 2026UIN 111022

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of the original capability requirements specified for the Ajax-family vehicles have been relaxed or amended due to an inability of the vehicles to meet the original requirements.

Answered by Luke Pollard

It would not be appropriate to release a complete list of capability criteria, or any amendments to them, as doing so could prejudice the capability of our Armed Forces.
