Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate his Department has made of the costs to the public purse of military training in 2017.
This question was answered on 6th February 2018
The Ministry of Defence undertakes a wide range of training activity; from Phase 1 and Phase 2 training for new recruits, through to complex joint exercises with other nations to specialist training for specific trades and skills requirements, such as nuclear engineering. The costs for these activities encompass nearly all the Defence Lines of Development and could not be broken out without incurring disproportionate cost.
