Written question asked by Lord Hoyle (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) on Wednesday, 15 June 2011.


Armed Forces: Libya

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what has been the total cost or estimated cost of the intervention in Libya; and what has been the expenditure or estimated expenditure by each of the three armed services.
Answer

It is too early to give a robust estimate of the costs of the operations in Libya; however we expect they should be modest compared with some 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.
