Written Question

Iraq: Military Intervention

Tuesday 15th December 2015

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Coventry (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what has been the financial cost to date of UK air strikes against Daesh in Iraq.

Answered by Earl Howe - Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Lords

It is not possible to separate out the costs of military action in Iraq from that of wider counter-Daesh operations due to the inter-related nature of UK military activity. The net additional cost of UK counter-Daesh operations to date is approximately £150 million. This includes around £80 million for military operations between August 2014 - 31 March 2015 and a net additional cost to date in this financial year of around £70 million.
