Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent in North Herefordshire constituency since 2015.

The value of direct contracts in financial year (FY) 2014-15, where the billing address is identified as in North Herefordshire is, £1,792,814. In FY 2015-16 the value is £857,964. The data for 2016-17 is not yet available.

No adjustment has been made for contracts, such as enabling contracts, which may cover the whole of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) estate. The figures and this methodology do not therefore give a full representation of the amount of work truly undertaken in North Herefordshire.
