Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on running British Forces Germany in each year since 2010.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my hon. Friend the former Minister for Personnel, Welfare and Veterans (Anna Soubry) on 24 November 2014 to Question 21463, which shows the cost broken down by financial year from 2010-11 to 2013-14.

The cost of running British Forces Germany for 2014-15 and 2015-16 was as follows:

Costs include military and civilian personnel, administration, IT, training, healthcare, Service Children's Education, contracted services, Pay As You Dine, laundry, accommodation stores, housing and utility costs.

Figures are based upon Top Level Budget approximates and are rounded to the nearest million.
