Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the expenditure on consultants by the Ministry of Defence in each of the past two financial years; what is the estimated expenditure on such consultants for the current financial year; and what is the projected expenditure on such consultants for each of the next four financial years.[HL5310]

Answer

Expenditure on external assistance by the Ministry of Defence and its trading funds was £26 million in financial year 2010-11 and £19 million in 2011-12. I am withholding the information for future years as it relates to the formulation of government policy. The department shall, however, continue to publish the annual outturn on external consultancy, with a breakdown by category of expenditure, in UK Defence Statistics: http://www.dasa.mod.uk/ modintranet/UKDS/UKDS2012/c1/table109.php.
