To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 21 December 2023 to Question 7169 on Ministry of Defence: Allowances, what the value was of subsistence claims in each year since 2019.
The below table shows the number and value of subsistence claims for all MOD core employees, including DE&S and SDA, in the last five calendar years.
| Number of claims | Total Value of claims |
2019 | 221,057 | £9,246,180 |
2020 | 83,891 | £3,244,459 |
2021 | 76,805 | £3,357,497 |
2022 | 133,875 | £7,824,689 |
2023 | 158,065 | £6,144,513 |
Total | 673,783 | £29,917,337.97 |
A single claim may have more than one ledger item (e.g one claim could be submitted for two meals and a gratuity), however the total cost of each individual subsistence item has been counted.
