Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the planned schedule of disbursements from the Joint Security Fund is for (a) his Department and (b) the security and intelligence agencies in each year from 2016-17 to 2020-21.
The Ministry of Defence will be able to spend £2.1 billion from the Joint Security Fund over the rest of this Parliament. The annual profile is subject to formal confirmation of the Chancellor's settlement for defence expected later this month.
Use of the Joint Security Fund by the Security and Intelligence Agencies is a matter for the Cabinet Office.
