To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the overall budget of each of the Ministry of Defence's UK training camps or bases was in each year since 2005; and if he will make a statement.
Mark Lancaster
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
The volume of information sought could only be compiled at disproportionate cost. In addition, training can be conducted at establishments other than those specifically designated to deliver training, and it is not practicable to distinguish training-related costs from non-training-related costs in those cases.
However, information currently available on the operating costs of establishments whose stated purpose is to deliver training is as follows:
Establishment | 2007-08 (£ million) | 2008-09 £ million) | 2009-10 £ million) | 2010-11 (£ million) | 2011-12 (£ million) | 2012-13 (£ million) |
Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth | 12.5 | 13.1 | 13.3 | 13.8 | 14.8 | 15.5 |
Defence Academy (all sites) | 125.1 | 126.7 | 124.3 | 118.6 | 115.0 | 121.0 |
115.2 | 113.7 | 100.2 | 101.2 | 93.6 | ||
69.5 | 63.4 | 54.9 | 48.2 | 46.4 | 56.3 |
These costs include expenditure on the cost of employment of personnel based at the establishment, infrastructure, inventory and equipment support. The costs will also include landlord services and facilities for lodger units, where applicable.
We are not required to retain financial records for more than seven financial years, including the financial year in progress.
