Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Robert Key (Conservative). It was answered by Bob Ainsworth (Labour) on Monday, 29 March 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Resource Accounting System

Question
What resources were allocated to his Department under the Government's resource accounting system in (a) 2002-03 and (b) 2003-04.
Answer

The total Ministry of Defence near cash budget was £26.8 billion in 2002-03 and £27.9 billion in 2003-04—an increase of more than £1 billion. Those are the only directly comparable figures, because the MOD did not have a non-cash Treasury departmental expenditure limit in 2002-03.
