Armed Forces: Pensions
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what his latest estimate is of the total cost of defence pensions as a share of defence spending in each year from 2002-03 to 2050-51; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The percentage of Ministry of Defence's budget spent on contributions to the Armed Forces Pension Scheme for the period 2002-03 to 2007-08 is set out in the following table. It is not possible to calculate percentages out to 2050-51 as the Ministry of Defence does not know what its budget will be for this period; the Defence budget for 2008-09 to 2010-11 will be set in the comprehensive spending review.
AFPS as a percentage of Defence spending Percentage 2002-03 8.1 2003-04 9.8 2004-05 9.0 2005-06 11.3 2006-07 11.8 2007-08 12.8
