Ajax Vehicles: Safety

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the terms of reference are for the Ministerial-led review of the Ajax Programme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

As you will be aware, I released a written Ministerial Statement in the House on 22 January 2026 in which I provided an update to Parliament on the British Army’s Armoured Cavalry Programme (commonly known as Ajax) and the findings of the Ministerial review which has now concluded. It would not be appropriate to release any further specific details than those contained in my previous statement.
