The Vehicle Support (VS) delivery team total equipment and support spend by financial year is as follows:

FY

VS total spend £million

2019-20

£357.218

2020-21

£326.028

2021-22

£367.746

2022-23

£404.137

The VS total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:

FY

VS total spend on operating costs £million

2019-20

£22.879

2020-21

£25.568

2021-22

£23.903

2022-23

£29.060

VS is a specific delivery 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 vehicle support across Defence which would not be held centrally and would not be answerable without a disproportionate cost.
