Ministry of Defence: Public Expenditure
(asked on 28th October 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which day-to-day funding streams will be cut in 2027/28 in line with the RDEL forecast detailed in the Autumn Budget.
This question was answered on 6th November 2026
This Government is increasing defence spending with the biggest uplift since the end of the Cold War.
There will be no reduction in funding streams as a result of the forecast RDEL change set out in the Autumn Budget.
This is a technical adjustment to RDEL budgets, equal to the amount the Department no longer needs to spend on pensions due to lower pension contributions resulting from the 2024 public sector pensions valuation.
