Asked by: Philip Hollobone (Conservative - Kettering)
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps to recover the costs of his Department's contribution to programmes against Ebola from the UK's international aid budget.
Answered by Mark Francois
The Government's overwhelming priority is to ensure that the UK plays a leading role in providing the Government of Sierra Leone with the support it needs to tackle the Ebola crisis. The Department is working closely with the Department for International Development to identify and recover from the international aid budget, the net additional costs associated with the MOD's contribution to this vital commitment.
