Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on land combat vehicles in each financial year since 2019-20.
The Land Combat Vehicle (LCV) delivery team total spend on equipment and support by financial year is as follows:
FY | LCV total spend(£million) |
2019-20 | £94.3 |
2020-21 | £208.5 |
2021-22 | £209.3 |
2022-23 | £189.2 |
The LCV total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:
FY | LCV total spend (£million) |
2019-20 | £12.5 |
2020-21 | £14 |
2021-22 | £12.5 |
2022-23 | £13.2 |
LCV is a specific project team in DE&S and the figures above represent the total spend of that team. The figures do not represent the total spend on all land combat vehicles across the Department which would not be held centrally and would not be answerable without a disproportionate cost.
