Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) civilian staff of his Department based in the UK, (b) military personnel based in the UK, (c) civilian staff of his Department based in Saudi Arabia and (d) military personnel based in Saudi Arabia were employed by the Saudi Arabian National Guard Communications Project on 1 April 2015.

The number of civilian and military staff based in the UK and in Saudi Arabia working on the Saudi Arabian National Guard Communications (SANGCOM) Project on 1 April 2015 is shown below. The Saudi Arabian Government reimburses the UK Ministry of Defence for these staff costs and there is, therefore, no cost to the UK taxpayer.
