Burma: Military Aid

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 9 January 2017 to Question 58251, whether the £236,668 spent on training the Burmese Army was funded through the ODA budget.

Answer

The figure of £235,668 provided in my answer of 9 January 2017 for total expenditure spent on providing educational training to the Burmese Army as at 21 December was given in error. The correct figure is £305,499.00; the original answer failed to include the costs of a single Defence Academy course delivered during the period. Of the total spend of £305,499 approximately 67% was ODA expenditure
