Written question asked by John Healey (Labour) on Monday, 5 September 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 7 September 2022. It was answered by Alec Shelbrooke (Conservative) on Tuesday, 20 September 2022 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Ajax Vehicles: Testing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the independent Millbrook trials for the Ajax armoured vehicles have resumed.

Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the written statement of 19 May (HCWS42) in which it was confirmed the independent Millbrook trials had concluded and that Millbrook continue to provide independent support to determine the effectiveness of the modifications proposed by General Dynamics.

User validation trials remain paused while investigations continue into the effectiveness of the internal communications system. They will resume once the Ajax safety panel is satisfied that it is right to do so.
