Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the annual costs of the office of the Armed Forces Commissioner.
This question was answered on 16th June 2025
The financial implications of establishing and maintaining the office of the Armed Forces Commissioner are estimated to be within the range of £4.5 - £5.5 million. This figure is only an initial estimate and represents a significant uplift on the annual budget of the Service Complaints Ombudsman, which was £1.9 million in 2024. We are committed to delivering value for money while ensuring the Commissioner has the resources they need to make the real difference our Armed Forces deserve.
