Armed Forces: Aircraft

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much additional funding has been provided for the RAF Tornado GR4 force since United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973.
Answer

As the Chancellor of the Exchequer has made clear, the additional costs of operations in Libya will be fully met from the reserve. This will include the additional operational costs of the Tornado GR4 force. These costs are still being collated and no request for funds from the reserve has been made to date.
