Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the senior responsible owners of the Ajax armoured vehicle programme since its inception.
Details of the personnel occupying positions within the Programme Management Office for the Ajax Programme are not released as they are individuals holding appointments below 1*.
Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) details can be found below.
Since the Main Gate Business Case baseline approval in 2014 there have been four Senior Responsible Owners for the Armoured Cavalry 25 (AC25) programme.
Prior to this, from 2010 (when Main Gate Business Case 1 was signed) to 2013, there were a further two SROs. This was when Ajax was part of firstly the Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) programme and then the wider Mounted
Close Combat (MCC) portfolio.
