Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the budget is for the Armed Forces Day national event in Guildford on 27 June 2015; how much of that cost is being met by (a) his Department and (b) Guildford Borough Council; whether any public funding so provided is dependent on match funding from industry or other sources; and if he will make a statement.
The Ministry Of Defence provides a grant of £25,000 to the hosts of an Armed Forces Day National event. The grant is a fixed amount given each year. The total cost to Guildford Borough Council will be dependent on their specific plans for this prestigious event.
