Ministry of Defence: Expenditure
(asked on 14th March 2024) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the annual budget was for the Future Capability Group in each year since 2019.
The DE&S Future Capability Group delivery team total spend on equipment by financial year is as follows:
FY | Total spend (£million) |
2019-20 | 42.955 |
2020-21 | 30.030 |
2021-22 | 45.781 |
2022-23 | 198.298 |
The Future Capability Group delivery team total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:
FY | Total spend (£million) |
2019-20 | 5.882 |
2020-21 | 7.641 |
2021-22 | 8.943 |
2022-23 | 11.342 |
The Future Capability Group 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 Future Capability projects across Defence which would not be held centrally and would not be answerable without a disproportionate cost.
