Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether Millbrook Proving Ground are on schedule to report the results of its independent trials into noise and vibration issues with Ajax armoured vehicles in late July 2021.

As per my answer of 21 June 2021 to Question 16028 to the right hon. Member, we expected to start to receive data in July and August this year with a final report expected to be delivered in September. Some data has already been received. However, we paused all Ajax mobility trials and training on 25 June as a precautionary measure due to noise and vibration concerns This may impact the timing of the receipt of data and the final report.
