Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 19 June 2026 to question 9116 on Ajax Vehicles: Procurement, what improvements to crew compartment heating on the AJAX vehicle platform he plans to make.

There are a series of upgrades identified to address issues on Ajax and work is underway to action those.

I can assure you that the Department continues to work closely with General Dynamics to ensure the programme proceeds safely, responsibly and transparently, delivering an improved user experience for our soldiers.

I will continue to keep the House informed about developments with Ajax via Written Ministerial Statement, as I have done since Exercise Titan Storm.
