Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his timeframe is for the publication of the results of the ongoing inquiry into health problems experienced by armed forces personnel participating in the trials of the Ajax Armoured Fighting Vehicle group; and if he will make a statement.

The review being conducted by the Ministry of Defence’s Director of Health, Safety and Environmental Protection into the safety procedures relating to vibrations and noise on the Ajax Programme is ongoing and I refer my Rt hon. Friend to the Written Ministerial Statement (HCWS260) issued earlier today.
