Military Aircraft: Expenditure
(asked on 13th March 2024) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on multi-mission aircraft in each financial year since 2019-20.
The DE&S Multi-Mission Aircraft Delivery Team total spend on equipment by financial year (FY) is as follows:
FY | Total spend (£million) |
2019-20 | 672.070 |
2020-21 | 1,039.994 |
2021-22 | 655.910 |
2022-23 | 327.614 |
The Multi-Mission Aircraft delivery team total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:
FY | Total spend (£million) |
2019-20 | 11.278 |
2020-21 | 16.789 |
2021-22 | 15.932 |
2022-23 | 17.244 |
The Multi-Mission Aircraft Delivery Team is a specific project team in DE&S and the figures above represent the total spend of that team. The figure does not represent the total spend on all multi-mission aircraft projects across Defence which would not be held centrally and would not be answerable without a disproportionate cost.
