Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress he has made the AJAX armoured fighting vehicle programme.
The Department continues to work with General Dynamics to identify solutions to the noise and vibration problems on Ajax vehicles.
Trials and testing of modifications proposed by General Dynamics to resolve these issues are ongoing. The data from these trials will then need to be analysed to determine whether the proposed modifications are effective.
I will update the House on these results in due course.
