Written question asked by Maria Eagle (Labour) on Wednesday, 13 March 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 15 March 2024. It was answered by James Cartlidge (Conservative) on Friday, 22 March 2024 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.

Armed Forces: Vehicles

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on vehicle support in each financial year since 2019-20.

Answer

The Vehicle Support (VS) delivery team total equipment and support spend by financial year is as follows:

FY	VS total spend £million
2019-20	£357.218
2020-21	£326.028
2021-22	£367.746
2022-23	£404.137

The VS total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:

FY	VS total spend on operating costs £million
2019-20	£22.879
2020-21	£25.568
2021-22	£23.903
2022-23	£29.060

VS is a specific delivery team in DE&S and the figures above represent the total spend of that team. The figures do not represent the total spend on all vehicle support across Defence which would not be held centrally and would not be answerable without a disproportionate cost.
