The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, has the ATLAS armoured recovery vehicle encountered the same vibrational and safety issues as the Ajax vehicles.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The recent Army Safety Investigation, commissioned in response to Exercise Titan Storm, underlined that all variants of Ajax are safe to operate. Specifically, measured vibration levels were below legal safety limits. I will continue to keep the House informed.
