Defence: Expenditure

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of the Government's reporting to NATO on defence expenditure in 2016 was categorised as (a) war pensions, (b) contributions to UN peacekeeping missions, (c) the Single Intelligence Account and (d) pensions for retired civilian personnel.

Answer

The figures used in the Government's reporting to NATO for Defence spending in 2016 are still estimates, as they represent spending in the 2016-17 financial year. We estimate that these items in total will represent no more than 5% of total defence expenditure in 2016.
