Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department plans to take account of inflation when calculating the funds to be provided to the Ministry of Defence for replacing the stockpiles of weapons supplied to Ukraine.
HM Treasury provides departments with settlements on a cash basis, and they are expected to manage the impacts of inflation within these settlements.
Last month, the Government announced an additional £1.3bn funding for military support to Ukraine. This funding was provided for the 2022/23 financial year and reflective of latest cost forecasts.
