Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to point number 50 of his Department's HS&EP Ajax Noise and Vibration Review, which officeholder was responsible for acting on the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory's concerns that there was an error with the General Dynamics UK noise and vibration calculator that meant crews were exposed to significantly higher levels of noise than previously thought.

The office responsible for considering the advice provided by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory is the Defence Equipment & Support Ajax Delivery Team.
