Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the carbon emissions of UK forces operating abroad were in the most recent year for which figures are available.

Information on the Department's carbon emissions can be found in the Sustainable Ministry of Defence Annual Report 2014/15, using the following link:

These figures cover carbon emissions from the Defence estate, including overseas sites and domestic business travel; the Department does not hold data on emissions from UK military operational activity overseas.
