Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on (a) contractors and (b) agency staff in the last financial year.
Answered by Andrew Murrison
The Department does not categorise spend on contractors and agency staff separately from overall temporary staff spend and therefore these elements cannot be separated out.
The most recent available figure for the Department's overall spend can be found in the Annual Report and Accounts for Financial Year 2022-22, which for temporary staff was recorded as £483.318 million.
