Libya: Armed Conflict

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) how much his Department has spent on average on each day of operations over Libya;
Answer

It is too early to give a robust estimate of the costs of the operations in Libya, but we expect they should be modest compared with other operations such as Afghanistan. As the Chancellor of the Exchequer has made clear the additional costs of operations in Libya will be fully met from the reserve.
