Ministry of Defence: Public Expenditure
(asked on 24th June 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what has been the level of total expenditure by his Department in (a) Scotland, (b) Wales and (c) Northern Ireland in each year between 2010 and 2020.
The Ministry of Defence publishes annually the regional expenditure with UK industry and supported employment publication, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/mod-regional-expenditure-with-uk-industry-and-supported-employment-index
The Ministry of Defence previously provided estimates on both expenditure and employment within the UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) publication. However, within the UKDS bulletins, the inclusion of the breakdowns for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were not given prior to 2013. It should also be noted that due to differing methodologies used across the years, historic figures are not directly comparable.
