Ajax Armoured Cavalry Programme

Viscount Younger of Leckie Excerpts

Monday 13th September 2021 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Goldie (Con)]

I am slightly out of my depth in trying to talk about the relative size of the vehicles. I know that concern has been expressed that this is too large a vehicle for what we call a recce vehicle and how we expect to be stealthy in a vehicle of that size. Ajax offers a step change in reconnaissance capability. Its sensors allow the crew to see and hear from much greater distance. That is why it has an important and significant role to play.

[Viscount Younger of Leckie (Con)]

My Lords, in the absence of any further questions, I beg to move that the House do now adjourn during pleasure until 9.19 pm.
