Written statement made by Liam Fox (Conservative) on Thursday, 23 June 2011 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Libya (Operation Ellamy)

The current estimate of the net additional costs of military operations for six months in support of Operation Ellamy—the United Kingdom's contribution to coalition operations in support of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973—is in the region of £120 million. This excludes costs associated with capital munitions expended. Based upon current consumption rates we estimate the cost of replenishing munitions may be up to £140 million. The Treasury has agreed to meet these costs from the reserve.
