Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse has been of Royal Air Force personnel serving in Saudi Arabia in each of the last five years.
The majority of RAF personnel working in Saudi Arabia are employed by the Ministry of Defence Saudi Armed Forces Projects (MODSAP) or on secondment with BAe Systems. There is no cost to the public purse for these individuals. There are other personnel where costs fall to the public purse, however, this information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
