The value of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) inventory is shown in the Annual Report and Accounts, which is published on gov.uk at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministry-of-defence-annual-report-and-accounts-2016-to-2017.

When inventory is no longer in use and surplus to requirement, it may be passed to the Defence Equipment Sales Authority:
