Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on space integrated battlespace in each financial year since 2019-20.
The Space total spend on equipment costs by financial year is as follows:
FY | Total spend (million) |
2021-22 | £8.511 |
2022-23 | £13.786 |
The Space delivery team total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:
FY | Total spend (million) |
2021-22 | £2.421 |
2022-23 | £4.683 |
The Space team, which was stood up in March 2021, is a specific project team in DE&S and the figures above represent the total spend of that team. The figure does not represent the total spend on all space projects across Defence.
