Answer

The Space total spend on equipment costs by financial year is as follows:

FY	Total spend (million)
2021-22	£8.511
2022-23	£13.786

The Space delivery team total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:

FY	Total spend (million)
2021-22	£2.421
2022-23	£4.683

The Space team, which was stood up in March 2021, is a specific project team in DE&S and the figures above represent the total spend of that team. The figure does not represent the total spend on all space projects across Defence.
