Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on the HM Armed Forces Railcard in each year since that scheme was introduced.
This question was answered on 12th March 2015
The HM Forces Railcard scheme is essentially self-funding, with no direct cost to the public purse. The Association of Train Operating Companies is reimbursed quarterly for railcards received by the Ministry of Defence, and the cost is recovered from individuals when the railcards are sold
