Combined Cadet Force

Question: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the expenditure on the combined cadet force for each of the last 25 years for which figures are available.

Answer

For the vast majority of requested years, the information required to verify expenditure on the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

However, extensive work was carried out for the Defence Youth Engagement Review (published in 2011) which confirmed that spending on the CCF in Financial Year (FY) 2009-10 was £26 million. Further analysis, undertaken as part of our recent work on CCF funding, confirmed that spending in FY 2012-13 was £27.7 million.
