Ministry of Defence written question – answered at on 19 February 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the savings which need to be realised by his Department over the 10 years to 2026-27.
In the 2015 Spending Review, the Ministry of Defence agreed to an efficiency target of £7.4 billion between 2016 and 2021. These efficiencies will be sustainable and their enduring benefits, when carried forward a further five years, will release a total of around £20 billion of efficiency savings over the 10 years to 2025-26 - or £23 billion by 2026-27.
As a Department, we have also delivered over £5 billion of efficiency savings between 2010-2016, and are making good progress towards our Spending Review 2015 target.
