Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people comprise the crew of the Ajax Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle; and what are the individual responsibilities of each of those crew members.

The Ajax reconnaissance variant has a crew of three. A driver (responsible for driving the vehicle and routine automotive maintenance as directed by the maintenance schedule), a gunner (responsible for using the sighting systems, firing the weapon system and other routine maintenance tasks as directed by the maintenance schedule) and commander (responsible for command of the vehicle, decisions on movement and use of the sighting and weapon systems, communication systems and safety).
