On 19 May, Clive Sheldon QC was formally appointed to conduct the follow-on review of the Ajax Programme.
In December 2021, Ministry of Defence’s Director Health, Safety and Environmental Protection published conclusions and recommendations from his review of health and safety on the Ajax programme. This found failings not only in the handling of health and safety concerns raised during vehicle trials, but also in MOD’s acquisition system more generally.
Clive Sheldon QC will lead the Ajax Lessons Learned Review that will help the department deliver major programmes more effectively in future.
