Ajax Vehicles: Testing
(asked on 8th July 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on what date the Minister for Defence Procurement was first briefed on the potential effects on hearing identified by assessors of the AJAX armoured fighting vehicle.
This question was answered on 13th July 2021
My office was first informed on 9 November 2020 that AJAX trials had been paused for a safety reason relating to noise. I requested a formal submission which I received on 13 November 2020 which referenced hearing concerns. The Health and Safety review which Ministers requested from the Permanent Secretary is ongoing.
