Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 12 November 2018 to Question 188235 on Defence: Scotland and with reference to the Scottish Government's document entitled Government Expenditure & Revenue Scotland 2017-18, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of disaggregating his Department's data on defence spending in Scotland to separate resource and capital expenditure.

We do not collate data on total Defence spending figures for Scotland (or any other part of the UK) and, therefore, it cannot be disaggregated to separate resource and capital expenditure.
