Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andrew Selous (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) on Monday, 14 November 2011 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Libya
- Question
- What recent estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of the UK's operations in Libya.
- Answer
-
Our estimate on 12 October was that the net additional cost of operations in Libya would be £160 million. Our estimate at the same date of the cost of replenishing munitions used in Libya was £140 million. That estimate assumed that operations would continue until the end of December. We are currently calculating a new estimate based on the actual end of operations on 31 October, and I expect to make a further statement in early December. I expect the new estimate to be lower than the one previously given.
