The Ministry of Defence (MOD) requested funding from the Special Reserve for Red Sea, and other NSC endorsed military operations, be included in the Supplementary Estimates. The detailed breakdown is classified SECRET, however a summarised version of the Net Additional Costs of Military Operations will be published in the MOD's Annual Report and Accounts (ARaC) in due course.
