Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much of the funding settlement for his Department announced on 19 November 2020 is (a) capital and (b) revenue.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) settlement is for £188 billion over the four years from 2020-21, of which £126 billion is for resource spending (excluding non-cash items such as depreciation) and £62 billion is for capital spending. A further £1.3 billion has been allocated as a contingency for Dreadnought. The SR20 funding announcement does not specify revenue assumptions in MOD’s funding settlement.
